Really?   I hope that's what it is. I have yet to put new oil in, It calls
for straight 30-weight, nothing special.  If it had synthetic, am I supposed
to use just synthetic?

Thanks

Are you sure it wasn't synthetic?  Some of that starts out that color.

blacker than any oil I have ever seen.  I checked the air filter and other
than some dust, it looked fine.  Although they don’t call for an oil filter
change, I replaced it as well.

Has anyone ever seen this before?

Thanks
