I got the oil changed in my 2004 Explorer on Friday. As I started to drive away, I could feel a vibration in the steering wheel that wasn't there before the oil change. It isn't a constant vibration. It vibrates for a second, stops, vibrates again, and so forth.
I noticed on the oil gauge that the level was slightly higher than usual. The gauge was never at this level after my previous oil changes. The oil level on the dipstick was slightly higher than usual too. It was between the top of the hashmarks (full) and the top circle on the dipstick. I called Ford and they told me that this level was still acceptable.
Since the oil change I have only driven it twice for about 60 highway miles total and the oil is already kind of brown. It definitely doesn't look like new oil. Is this normal?
What is causing this vibration that I feel on the steering wheel?
Thanks for your help.
