I'm approaching 5,000 miles with its first batch of M1 10W-30 and will be changing the oil soon --
-- when I pull the dipstick to check the level, the oil color is still GOLDEN -- I mean, like glowing orange --
-- with my Civic, it's always, always black -- any ideas on this? Is it the LC's 8 qt capacity, or is that I use that crappy little Fram "quick change" hose on my Civic, disallowing all the gunk to drain the pan --
-- BTW, the Civic is at 180K and the LC at 75K -- both great vehicles --
