Dark Oil?
I'm posting this as I would like to know if this is normal. Basically, I changed my oil on July 26th. As of today and after going 570 miles since I changed the oil, the color seems to be darker than I would imagine it to be after such a short amount of time and riding. Pics are attached for you guys to see--first one is right after the oil change. Is the color difference normal considering the amount of time and mileage?
ps. oil levels look different only because the bike was on different slopped surfaces when I took them.
Other info:
-I use Rotella T 5w-40 Synthetic Oil and a K&N oil filter
-I let the oil drain overnight before filling with new oil
-Before installing the drain plug & new oil filter, I poured some new oil and let it drain, hoping this would help clear out any old oil and dirt out
