Dirty gritty drained oil when I did the oil change today

dlmartin81

Oil filter is long gone. I do still have the oil but don't know if it's any good because I did an oil change on my wife's vehicle, as well as mine. So the oils are mixed together.

That's not good (the mixing part). Maybe next time. You actually have to bring up the oil temp (I bring it up to 210 usually) before getting the sample.

As many said, change your oil now. Run it for maybe 3-4 months (or 4000 miles whichever comes first) and then see what's the end result.

Good luck man!

I just want to make something clear. I'm afraid some might be getting the wrong idea. When I said the oils are mixed, I was referring to the oil in the oil pan. I did two oil changes that day. Mine and my wife's. I wasn't actually mixing oils and dumping it into the engine. By having the oils mixed in the oil pan, it will be difficult to get a sample.

Are you saying that I should change the oil again, after the fact that I did that this past weekend?
