After leaving the dealer, I checked my oil and I found it to be clear in color



They I talked with tech, he stated that oil goes in clear comes out brown.

They put in 5 thing's of Castrol GTX. I have always used M1 and that is what I'm to switch over to after 1500 miles. 0-w40.

I just want to make sure that Castrol GTX has no color to it.

I use to see M1 in which is brown.

 

slight caramel color to it, but looks clear on the dipstick when it is new.

 

I use Castrol Syntec 5w-30 for my Z. It is a light brownish color.

I use Castrol GTX 10-40 for my dad's Tundra and Sequoia. It is clearish with a light hint of brown color. It is definitely brown when it comes out of the engine. And yes it is clear on the oil stick when it is new.

 

Thanks guys

I feel better, I just hate taking my baby to the dealers.

 

You should taste it to make sure its oil.

 

 

Oil is always light brown / caramel color when its new. Its very dark brown and sometimes even black when you are taking it out.

 

my oil is red ^_^

 

mine is purple!

 

According to the oil threads Castrol GTX is very good oil. Nice taste in Z's by the way.

 

has anyone tested redline? Its what i run in my car but i heard the first time you use a different oil other than dealer your car is gonna feel slow then after you should feel the power gain.

 

I still remember the first day i got my Z. The oil was so clear!!!

 

I just changed the oil in my 08 with castrol gtx 5w-30 and it does look clear on the dip stick.

 

what???

why would your car be slower if you use a different oil in it? who ever you heard that from is full of sh*t
