Vehicle had 102k - prior oil change history (up until the 98k mark) was every 4-5k using Mobil or Pennzoil conventional 5w-20. The cover was removed because I did a valve adjustment on the engine.
The engine consumes approximately 1 quart of oil every 5,000 miles. I noticed that there was a small amount of black grit/dried carbon underneath the camshaft area....not sure what that is from.
From 98k to 102k, the engine had Mobil 1 EP 0w-20. The oil that I drained was very dark...compared to the 5000 mile old conventional that I had previously drained out.
