Car is a 1995 Dodge Stratus ES with the 2.0L SOHC engine. The oil in the pics is on its second run of Valvoline Maxlife 5w30. Previously before the last Maxlife run I had a brief OCI of Mobil 1 5w30 in there (traded from a friend).
Camera makes it yellower then it actually is. [censored] auto settings.
Too bad the only reason the valve cover is off, is because the water pump bearings wore out, and took the timing belt with it, even though the timing belt was done about 45,000 km ago.
Pullin the head off to check for valve damage, and hopefully it isn't too bad. Its a clean car.
I'm not sure the history of oil changes before 200,000km, as thats when I acquired it. Although it came with a bottle of GTX 5w30 in the trunk. But it looks [censored] clean so far.
