Oil Usage And Colour Over Service Period?

[TUF250]

Hi guys just wanted to get a feel for how much oil people are using and how dark that oil is getting over a typical service interval (5000ks)? My car is a r33 gts-t which has 90k on it and gets driven daily. Using drift oil filters and nulon synthetic oil.

Anyone with a similar car/combo would be keen to hear your experiences

I service mine every 5000-7000kms with Motul 8100 full synth and new filter. The colour of the oil...well, can't really describe that one can ya all I can say is that it looks healthy, not VERY black at all. Still a good dark shade of golden brown verging strongly on black. Car has 149,000 on the clock, had leaks on rocker gaskets that were hardly bad (fixed now) but doesn't lose any oil at all.

Most I've gone between service was 9000kms, but as soon as it got around 5000 I was checking oil level and colour frequently. This service interval consisted of a few easy going highway runs between sydney and canberra though, with very little hard driving.

if your worried about it turning black then dont, its just picking up carbon like its supposed to
