What color is your motor oil, mine is orange
I recently bought an '09 Ford Ranger XLT with the 2.3l I-4 engine assembled at the Twin Cities Assemply plant. At 350 miles, this afternoon, I decided to check the oil to make sure that the level hadn't dropped unexpectedly. I found that the levels were where they should be but that the oil color was orange and not the lite tan color motor oil usually is. Has anyone else noticed this about their brand new trucks? It smells like oil should it does not have any emulsion qualities like water was present(thinking rust), it is slick like oil, just this odd color. Share with me your thoughts...
