The oil was it's usual color but the other stuff was darker and looked like a finer version of dark grease. I should have took pictures, sorry for the bad description. I thought that it might have come off the stick so that's why I checked the filter at the dealership. If I see it again after a few hundred miles I'll shoot the pics and post them.
