TS-1 Oil
I have turbonetics TS-1 motor oil in my car presently. I went out to check the oil and it was a tad low so I added a little to the motor. I noticed when I checked the dip stick what came out on the stick had a greenish color but the oil I added was blue. Is this normal? Should the oil on the dip stick be blue not greenish? Hopefully nothing is getting in with the oil and changing the color.

I just did my first oil change after TN install.
I suggest you change your oil early on the first!!!
I pulled my dipstick out and the oil was dark green. 2600 miles.
I did the oil change myself. 6quarts down to 4 quarts !@L#KJ!@#LK!J.
Don't rely on the dipstick, it sucks.
The TS-1 blue color seems to be a good indicator when to change the oil.
I went back to Mobil 1 High Performance Synth. with a Extended Perf. M1 filter.
The car starts soo much smoother now.
All I can suggest is, change it early. Atleast for the first one.

Have you done a 2nd change? Wondering if you got the same results on the second change?
