I changed my oil last night and it was a milk chocolate color. Not sure if that is normal? I have 10,000 on the car and had the dealer do it last time. I have changed oil on other cars and have never seen oil this color. Just wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar color.

 

was it frothy? smell sweet?

 

I'm not sure if your serious. It smells normal and wasn't frothy.

 

lol, yes I was serious.. worried there might be antifreeze in there.

I noticed my syntetic oil is more, ahhh, creamy when used than conventional.

Do you have normal amounts of power?

 

Lol if you said taste sweet then yeah youd be playin with him lol!

Yeah but if its at all milky then you could be f*cked.

 

mmm, tastes like a new engine is on the way!

Drive with the new oil for a day or two and pull the dipstick.. see what it looks like - is it miky, forthed up (check it right after running the engine)? watch for white smoke out the tail pipe and/or a loss of power.

 

Milky oil is a really bad sign.
Take it to the dealer and get it looked at asap.

so far it runs fine, no probs with power. I check the dip stick and see what it looks like now.

thanks for the help guys.

 

Looks like someone spilled their mocha frapuccino in the engine while refilling their oil. haha jk

 

i had the same thing happen to me on my last car when i over heated and blew a head gasket

it looked just like chocolate milk too

 

Coolant tastes sweet.
