Hi there...Engine oil is designed to entrap the carbon,the acids,the airborne dirt plus water to a certain extent.
So after say 5 to 10 thousand klm the oil can be a dark brown to a black... this is normal.
don't forget to change the oil filter ?... hope this helped
You can get an engine flush from most car diy stores.
Bear in mind that you should change the oil when it is hot as it will heat up and become more fluid (viscos).
Don't worry about being a girl- my wife can't even top up her screen wash so you are doing well!!!Oil change?
If the oil has not been changed regularly, run for a month (1,000/1500 miles) and change it again, don't forget to change the oil filter at the same time. Then change oil %26amp; oil filter every 6,000 miles or 6 months.
you really don't need to use a flush in the engine, just do a couple quick oil changes, drive 2,000 miles and change the oil and oil filter and do another 2,000 mile oil change and filter.
I have hear mobil clean 5000 motor oil does a really good job of cleaning the engine. it is only 8.97 for the 5 qt jug at walmartOil change?
There are "Engine Flushes" out there that you can add to your oil before changing the oil. In my experience they do work but they are expensive and probably not really necessary.
My advice would be to change the oil again in another 1000 miles, then again at 2000 miles. Remember to change the oil filter at the same time.
Ja.
maby you should use better winter rated oil the first number is winter rating and second number when its at operating temprature 10w is like syrup when cold, 5w or 0w will flow better and atleast change oil every 3000 miles if think this problum and use good oil filter and oil
I'M A GIRL TOO AND I CAN DO THIS, SO ITS NO MORE COMPLICATED FOR US TO DO IT THAN GUYS!
IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND IT ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT TO DO THEN TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU THINK GIRLS ARE NOT CAPABLE!
If you go to somewhere like Halfords, they sell various engine flushing treatments. Follow the instructions on the bottle, most of them aren't supposed to be in the engine for as long as regular oil, maybe 1000 miles. Then change the oil %26amp; filter again.
That should clear up the gunk!
like someone else said there is what is called engine flushes, im waiting on my oil filter and oil "Mobil Super S 10w-40 arriving but have already recieved the "ACP ENGINE OIL SYSTEM CLEANER FLUSH TREATMENT", this will be the first time ive used this but considering it only costs 拢7 off ebay i would say its definitely worth a try, heres the info about the product:

Stop engine and change the oil and filter DO NOT DRIVE
Watch the oil come out as thin as water
unlike other products out there this actually WORKS
Why put clean oil into Dirty engine ?
This product can not be purchased on the High Street it is used in garages as a high strength engine oil flush so when a customer picks their car up and checks the oil its clean and free of old oil.
