Default Oil Change EVERY 1900 Miles!!!!

Hey guys, the past 6 or more months, i have been noticing my oil gets pretty bad around 1900 miles. Is this common with any other Z's??? What can i do to prevent this from happening? Did anyone have any leaks and experience this.

Just because it is black does not mean it is bad. For peace of mind you could send a sample away for testing to see how your motor is running.

Oil isnt *bad* because it turns dark. This doesnt need 2 threads as much as you could do some learning.

Oh dear.

What the a;sldigasd do you mean it's not just black? It would help if you explain yourself instead of just making a plain *** statement. Oil turns dark after use. It is still good. Unless you are saying your oil is some other color or even milky. You don't have a problem.........

Few things here to look at:

1. Try introducing yourself instead of posting a bunch of threads requesting things
2. Google it before you post it
3. If your searching doesn't result in the information your looking for, feel free to ask the community, but please provide as much info as possible.

I dare to assume from the quoted post of yours that you are very young. DO some research on what oil is widely used by the Z community, and stop racing "Punks" on the highway

Definitely a teen. Big ego for no reason, demanding, and premature usage of the "got owned" smilie.

Farva: It doesn't matter cause I'm going to win ten million dollars.
Thorny: What are you going to do with ten million dollars, and you can't say buy the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Farva: I'd buy a ten million dollar car.
Thorny: That's a good investment but I'd still pull you over.
Farva: Bull ****. You couldn't pull me over, and even if you did I'd activate my car's wings and I'd fly away.


reminds me of this quote
