at 11k miles. the oil was dark in the drain bucket, but remarkably yellow when absorbed with a paper towel or newspaper. another thing......when i got some on my skin, i smelt it, and i'm almost certain i smelled cinnamon in it. it also made my plugs look like they had burned antifreeze, until i inspected them. they had little green specks like certs with retsin (sp?). the green color was also paler than antifreeze, so i know that it was likely just bits of phosphorous instead of a headgasket failure telltale. good stuff, though. you'd have a hell of a time "consuming" it, as even my mother's taurus (which uses about 1.1 qts of m1 5w30 between 6500 mile oil changes) had a dramatically reduced consumption with the stuff.
