Just a general question really... but it kind of stuck in my mind for a while so just want to know more about it... :innocent:

Engine oil... what colour should it be normally... i know when new it should be a yellowish colour... but after a few days and some runs the oil has turned black again...

is that normal or is there something wrong? (please don't.. can't really bear hearing there is any more problem... :kaffeetrinker_2: )

Cheers everyone

after changing the oil it stayed yellow for a day... then next day after a spin... back to original colour! :ph34r:

Cheers everyone!

a day.. yeh coz after the oil change i just drove about 20 yards to a parking space... then that's it for a day.. :whistling:

Even so.. the colour wasn't fresh yellow.. but darkened already...

checked my housemate's Polo petrol and the colour is yellow even after monthes....
