Between getting dumped (totalled) and three owners in 2 years I doubt the earl was changed even once before you came along. I'd dump the synthetic immediately and run regular grade throught it at least twice. once for a day and once for a week and see how it looks, especially if the drop was black along with the flakes.., which are normal. Then even do a third run of a month keeping you eye on glass oil window. All you need is a plastic tray from the dollar store, leftover plastic milk cartons from home and filter wrench (which you'll always need.) Once you're running clear change to semi-syntec or full depending on cost, budget, clarity and how often you want to chage it. My 05 semi-synthetic BelRay runs clear between changes to this day. You'll get it I have no doubt, these people were the ones to come to, especially if you wanted some jocularity as well.
