hey guys, I've got a strange issue here... I just did an oil change today on my 07 Si. I used a K&N filter and i threw in 4.6 quarts of royal purple as called for.. I was wondering why my oil level is still lower on the dipstick than it should be and why the oil on the dipstick isn't purple.....like it was when i dumped it in. It's more of a goldy color like normal oil. I took it for a rip and it runs fine, no leaks, the drive way is clean... looks good, but i just thought that was strange. I've used purple in previous vehicles and it was purple so i dunno. thanks.

 

for me it was never purple when i just put it in.
if its lower, that means put more in there lol

 

is the motor hot when ur checking the oil? that would be why its reading low

 

lol... ya i know, i was going to for sure, just that the manual calls for 4.6 quarts with filter.
I let the car sit on the ramps for about an hour and a half before the change so warm, but not hot i guess.

 

its overrated

 

$50 oil change?

It isn't purple because oil contains detergents that collect and suspend sediments making it appear dark.

 

thanks, i know i probably sounds like an idiot, but I was just unsure..

ya 10 bucks a litre is pretty much the cheapest you can find it around here.
