    Default Dakr/Dirty Oil

    I recently changed my timing belt and all my drive belts along with gaskets and seals, waterpump dist. cap..spark plugs and wires..so the whole bang...i also flusha nd filled coolant...i was also due for my oil which i always change at 3000 but i noticed that it was darka dn dirty..i can't even see through the oil when i was filling a bottle with the used oil. why is it so dirty? should i change every 2500 miles a couple of times till it gets cleaned up? or is there an engine oil treatment i can use? appreciate any help

    Dark and dirty oil means you havent been on top of getting it done every 3k. I have 90k on my car and the oil looks like brand new everytime I change it.Just stay on a good routine of changing it. Also you can get an oil cleaner but not really worth it.

    EXCESSIVE BEARING CLEARANCE. SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS IN UR ENGINE AND ITS TRYING TO COME OUT. THE MORE U REV IT, THE FASTER AND SOMETIMES THE LOUDER THE KNOCK GETS. TRY SOEM SYNTHETIC BLEND OR FULLY SYNTHETIC OIL AND STAY ON SCHEDULE, UR RIDE WILL BE FINE.
