Car back from dealer advise from board
I took my 2002 in because it was missing and lurching. Turned out to be some sort of evaproative seal that was loose and making the car run rich. They fixed the leak and cleaned the plugs. I checked the oil this weekend and it looks really dark compared to new synth. oil. Pulled one of the plugs and it looked fine where they cleaned it but you could tell that it had been subjected to a really rich fuel mixture. Should I demand a oil change and new plugs? Potential hidden damage?

Re: How many miles on your car since the last oil change?
Car is brand spanking new. Only has 2700 miles on it. Most of the mileage was Higway from road trip a couple of weekends ago. Im thinking about just changing the oil myself. Plug condition had me worried though. IMHO synth oil is kind of hard to see the mark on dipstick ( Porsche experience). The oil in the S4 is now dirty enough to see where the oil is with no problem.
