HI all! Wy back, 2002 or 04, i was at walmart, and found bottles of havoline dino for like 79cents, clearance! I bought like 40 bottles, 10w30 and 5w30. its a 98 corolla. I like too use 10w30 summer, 5w30 wninter. I am just approaching 4 miles, mostly stop and go taxi like traffic, and short trips, though 2 times a month i will do a nice 35 mile ride, not highway.
Oil last month looked brown, but had that nice gold hugh around the sides. I am using a toyota filter. i added rislone concentrate some 700 miles ago. Looked at oil yesterday, 3, 992 miles, it looked cleaned up. I only use top tier gas too, mobil msotly, sometimes shell 87. and Usualy tcw3 in gas.
SO toyota recommneds oil changes at 5000 miles. ever conditions it was less than 3 000 miles. im at 4000 miles practicaly. should i dump it, seeing how clean the oil still looks? i mean its dark brown beofre starting, looking at dipstick, after driving around waiting a few minutes driving, it appears somewhat newish.
what shoold i do?
