Here's a quick question for the group; how can I tell for sure if the dealer put in Ester? Does it have a specific smell or color?

It should have a neon orange hue and smell sort of like asparagus.

(Unfortunately, no easy way to tell what type of oil the dealer used.)

honestly i dont think it matters much if they put ester in it or not from the factory..from what i read the ester primarily lubricates the valve train from making chatter.

I have never seen such ignorant little kids in all my life. You people all need to grow up. Your comments are all ridiculous. I'm amazed that any of you can even afford these cars. What are you all, 16 or 17 years old or something? Geez.

Every post you make is either cat piss or an Amsoil ad. Get a life, multi-level marketing LOSER.

Nah, not at all. I think most of the people rolling their eyes here are doing so because of the nature of this guy's posts. They are all very self-righteous with an obvious "marketing" edge.
