• Oil colour 19 May 2003 (Forum)
  When the colour of engine oil changes from clear to brown does that mean it\'s absorbed as much muck as possible? The reason I ask is that I change my oil & filter regularly - every 5k to be specific. I rarely use the car for short-distance My oil changes to brown within a matter of weeks
• Is it the right price for a 406?? 5 May 2003 (Forum)
