New oil and it is black already.

It's been a LONG time since I've changed oil at home, but if you leave the drainplug out overnight, you'll drain every last drop by the next morning.

Just don't forget to "Lockout/Tagout" so you don't accidentally try to start it in the morning 'till oil's in it.

And- some consider this bad advice, but- I have poured the used oil back into the empty oil containers and added it to my fuel. Hey, 50 pints of free fuel. Just add it in SMALL amounts to fuel and stretch it out so that you run out just as you need another oilchange. But- don't use it if you dumped your oil filters in the pan, the soot from the filters will clog the injector nozzles.

 

WRONG................it is not a blend oil, It's regular conventional oil.

 

This is almost exactly the same thing I do, but I try to never go past 11k. I usually have every weekend off or some downtime during the week so I can change my oil pretty much when ever it gets close to the 10k mark.

 

Me three. When my mechanic pulled the oil pan off to replace the original rod/main bearings, that he said were still good after 984k, he told me he'd never seen the inside of an engine so clean before. Then proceeded to show me what one on the other side of the shop being overhauled looked like, black sludge. There's something to be said for changing it often, somebody on here once called it a cheap overhaul. 1,051,000 and little to no oil consumption or clouds of blowby..

 

Its cool man....When I was 22 I thought I knew everything too.

 

I'll second this, not a semi-syn, regular dino drippins!

 

My personal 12 second quarter mile vehicle has 100k on the motor, oil looks like honey. Cars are different.

My Trucks oil turns black within minutes of an oil chnge, diesel creates a lot of soot and a certain amount of blowby because of the high compression, this causes carbon to enter the crankcase and discolor the oil. Its normal.

 

I have went to 12,000 miles maybe 4 times in 12 years. usually gets changed at just over 10,000. I dont usually go to 11,000, but have at times.

 

my oil looks clear enough where you can for sure tell it was changed even after 2,000 miles. it does not get pitch black until after 3500 miles more or less.

 

Crawl back in your sleeper and make another video about being a super trucker.

My thoughts exactly, nothing but un-informed know-it-all BS out of this guy. Sorry if its against the rules but I am sick of his comments.
