Yesterday, I put a quart of Nextgen Maxlife (red label not green) 5W-30 in the 5-cyl turbo Volvo. Drove for a couple of hours, had the intermittent lights, getting codes scanned today most likely. Today the oil is just below the full marks on the crosshairs, and the oil looks a bit darker.
I dont know what kind of oil is in there but it looked recently changed. I am wondering if the quart of this oil is somehow initiating some more advanced cleaning? This is my first turbo engine, and the oil level is almost to the top of the crosshairs, yesterday it was slightly above the bottom of the crosshairs. Checked cold.
Are my observations off-base or is the oil I added doing anything? It is high in Moly content as well, that particular Maxlife Nextgen and that is why i selected it as opposed to other oils on the shelf! Ran me $7. I dont like Autozone!
