I was wondering if anyone had any idea what this means. i changed my oil after about 1500 miles and found it to be noticably darker than normal. So i changed the oil again after about 1300 miles and found the oil coming out in the same condition. just wondering if this means something bad ,or if it can be fixed easily, or what. please post if you have any idea what this means. thanks.

is it full synthetic?? did you notice how much oil coming out? it has to be atleast almost same volume what you put in it if not you are burning oil and it could be a problem..

i had the same amout of oil coming out of the car, but it seems to be dirty. and i found deposits on the bottom of the catch. idk i thought it would go away after a few early oil changes. i use comventional by the way. does that make a difference or help you out?

the oil doesn't smell like gas. the only thing i found wrong with it was the fact that it seemed dirty. i found some sediment on the bottom of the catch, and the oil was pretty dark again.

Well maybe you should just buy a crap load of oil and change the oil repeatidly. Thats the only thing you can do to flush it.
It should be a yello/golden brown

oil darkens with use. thats not a sign of anything.
if you're really worried, have an oil analysis done. thats the ONLY way to know what condition your oil is in.
