Message	I recently checked my oil level to try and resolve my ticking problem. The level was a little below the H mark so I added enough oil to bring it up to the H mark. Then I took the car out for a spin and no ticking, problem solved. But when I was checking the oil level and wiped the dipstick I noticed that the color of the oil was slightly black. The oil didn't smell burnt but looked as if it needed changing. I just changed the oil about 1500 miles ago, but this was also about 4 months ago. I use Mobil 1 10W-40 synthetic oil too. I want to know if I should go ahead and change the oil? Is it normal for the oil to get dirty so fast? Also, do you usually change the oil after 3 months if it comes before the 3k miles or just wait for 3k miles? TIA. RED IS FASTA peace out. -ZMANIAK
