Wes,

just wondering, when you looked in the oiler filler cap on your old Q, what did it look like? I know this is suppossed to be an indicater of any bad oil change habits or sludge problems. I'm sure you checked. Mine looks very clean when i shine a flashlight in there, but thinking maybe that can be deceiving. Watcha think????Jeff

I would see blackness.... Also, when you take off the cap under it youd see stuff caked on the bottom

An amber gold is considered normal....
