hey guys,

just want your opinion on this. I saw this quote online

Another indicator that the oil needs to be changed is by looking at the color of the oil. Use the dipstick to find out both the level and color of your engine oil. The color should be transparent and light amber. Older oil is darker in color. If your engine oil is black, it should be replaced immediately to avoid damage to the engine
My X's oil is very black now, but I just got it change recently, it's not even pass 500km yet, but its been 1 month ++

what do u guys think? or it is common for most X to be like this.

Hi there,
