I changed my oil at 600 miles and added a separator / catch can at that time. I also changed the oil at 3kish. I am at 4k now and based on others that have reported being over a quart low and also others that had relatively high amounts of oil in their cans I realized I needed to check and drain mine.
I had a very trivial amount of oil in mine. If you can call it oil. It is a rather foul smelling exceedingly light brown substance. It smells of oil, ethanol, and gas.
There were very few extremely small specks of black pure oil I assumed had not been completely mixed or contaminated.
Checked my dipstick and I am still right at the top hash of the full mark. It doesn't appear to me that my car is burning or passing much oil, at least not what some others have reported being down a quart.
I assume the waste oil being chocolate brown is normal. My engine oil is still clean enough that it takes effort to see the fluid level on the stick.
Does this seem normal, to the folks with more experience?
