Engine oil after changing

Bowma · 25-01-10, 05:22 PM

I had my engine oil changed last Friday or I think it was anyway, I have only driven about 30 miles, today I checked the oil and to me it looks the same as when I took it, shouldn't the oil be quite clear after oil change? Now it's almost black, I'm sure I'm being ripped off.

Did you have the filter changed too? If so does that look new?

Yes the oil filter should have been changed also but it looks the same one to me!

exectamundo! the filter holds half a litre, or so, of black sh*tty oil which will have mixed through all your lovely new golden syrup.......

any garage doing an oil change you'd think should be doing the filter as a matter of course.

I'd be having words.
