WOW that's pretty well cooked, the stuff that came out of my dads fiat was a nice golden brown, after 85K... the brand new stuff was about the same colour 8O

I changed the filter and oil on Basil's E39 530i auto which had done about 100k.

That uses a lifetime oil and you should have seen what came out of that!

Cars from 2004, coolant is also life time! 8O
