Lucas oil stabilizer made oil dirty ??
I cleaned my engine out with trany fluid a wile back, then switched back to Mobile 1. well I know the engine still has some crud in it because of how heavily caked on the crud was, but my oil has stayed clean for over a month and a half since my last change.
yesterday I added a 1/2qt of Lucas oil stabilizer and did a little driving. today when I checked my oil it shocked me to see that it was dirty. not dirty enough to be black,but my oil went from looking like it was just put in the engine to a transparent dark brown.
why would that be? is it a discoloration thats to be expected? has the lucas suspended crap that the Mobile 1 normaly wouldnt?
anyone else had this happen?

It's possible the lucas free'd up some carbon. It does thicken the oil so it could have forced some carbon out of somthing the M1 dident. Thats why I dont mess with the ATF flush I just use the real stuff.
