Really sorry i m totally off topic but i dont want to start a thread for this only...

The Oil change is done now (thx guys) my oil is full black perfectly opaq and smell horrible. I just bought the car the seller tell me i can run the car for 2000miles more. hopefully it was a suspect advice and i didnt thrust him (i early saw he was not interested in this chim anymore).

I never saw that in any car ever... in any measure...

Is the rv8 reputed to do this... is this due to his "old" conception ( i heard renault4l's do this)??

If i had some cheap oil there i would have flush everything before puting the 300v frown

As you don't know the history of the engine, the previous owner may have used anything he had. If you have drained the old stuff, fitted a new filter and got reasonable oil pressure when cold or hot with no smoking at the exhaust, then it should be fine. Your new oil probably has detergents in it which will help remove any impurities.

Run it for a while and change again, it makes sense in the long run.
I know you put expensive stuff in but it would be better to do this.
