I still have mine in it's original box.

I lost the box.

I like a nice car, but taking it to the track has left it full of black tire streak marks all over. Drought has made it tougher to wash regularly.

Most oils will go black after about a couple hundres miles. It's the additives in them that do it.

Oil goes black from soot...normal byproduct of combustion. Modern oils have better detergents than a decade ago. The black oil is the detergent doing its job. Black oil does not necessarily mean that the oil needs to be changed.
