This picture was taking from the oil filler cap of a 2004 Acura TL. Engine is a 3.2L V6 putting 270HP to the Front Wheels, with a 5-spd Auto. Mileage on the vehicle is approximately 43,000, and the vehicle has been owned for about 2 yrs, since new, in Fresno.
The oil is changed per the Maintenance Minder system (Oil Life Monitor), which equates to an oil/filter change every 6500-7000 miles. The oil level is NEVER checked. All oil changes have been done at the dealer with name brand 5W20 bulk and the Honda "FRAM" filter. I'll try to find out the exact brand used by the dealer.
I'll try to have the owner take more pics from a different angle tomorrow.
Thoughts?
