    When I first did an oil change after getting my landy (although it is a bit older than yours), it was quite thick and very metallic.

    I was assured by a mechanic that it wasn't unusual to get that from regular use. That didn't really stop me worrying however.

    As for the burnt colour, how much oil did you get out? as much as you put in, or noticeably less?
