no flippin' way. Who ever said that is pulling your leg big timeWhy is my air filter still clean?
I've never heard of that, but it does make some sense as the viscosity should be thicker than new oil... Perhaps slightly gritty from carbon? I wouldn't totally rely on that as a benchmark though. Stick to regular servicing with you vehicle, and for yard equipment keep a log book in your workshop for reference.Depends on if you are referring to oil that has been the your car or if you are talking about fresh oil...also it depends on if its cold or hot...more info please...also the way it smells is a big factor also.
how do you finance auto repairs?
with new oil, nowith used oil yes.
if it feels different, gritty, or thinner, time to change oil.
to be a little mor obvious, the darker the oil the more different it feels AND someone who cares for their cars engine will change the oil about the time it changes color, unless you have a diesel.
In petrol engines it is very difficult to find the quality of oil after long usage however, there are some ways means to read its values e.g. if the oil is cool than its viscosity will be thick because of excessive presence of carbon particles burnt during engine ignition where as if the oil is hot (not warm) the old and the excessively used oil will be very very thin.
In diesel engines, you can virtually feel the difference between a new oil and used / old oil.
why does my diesel shogun have problem starting in the cold?
No. Synthetic oil will last forever and feel fine, but the additives wear out and you can't feel the microscopic contaminants that get in it.No...it's takes 3 seconds to get out of your car and check the dipstick. Don't sacrifice your car out of laziness.

When buying or checking out a used car for someone I will check the oil and "smell it".
Why are there noises under chassis during low gear or reverse gear?
What I am smelling for is gasoline in the oil, or oil that was neglected for so long it has an old smell. I have been able to smell additives that are kerosene based before.. but that is much harder to detect.
