Just checked the oil in the ZO6 no oil burning but oil is black. Dad changed oil from Amzoil to Mobil1 extended life. I'm sure the detergents are dispursing the Amsoil built up. However its a little troubling to see it. Do you think I should change oil again. I have about 1100 miles on last change. Just bought 3 jugs of Mobil 1 @ WalMart! scary place! Dad has always used Wix oil filters and K&N. Are Frams any good? I know I'm asking a lot of questions!! Thanks Erin

To get back on topic, it's normal in a higher mileage engine for the oil to turn black somewhat quickly. Being black is not a sign the oil is worn out.
