I took my truck to the dealership (to keep it certified) for its oil change. I provided the oil and filter, both Royal Purple. After the 6.5-mile-drive home, I pulled the dipstick and it was brown.
Now, I've been using RP in my '99 Cherokee for years and the color seems to have remained purple for atleast 200 miles. However, it this was my first time using RP oil and filter in my 2011 EcoBoost F150. I've already changed the oil twice with regular ol' Valvoline and a FoMoCo filter at 200 miles and 2000 miles. The truck now had 5000 miles on it.
I told the service Writer that I didn't think he put in RP in. He showed me the empty bottles, but that doesn't mean anything.
The dealer's service department has mishandled the entire situation from the get go. They question my motives and were upset that I was "questioning" his lube tech's integrity. I'll be talking to the manager tomorrow.
So, am I mistaken?
