I did the oil drip test, and the old oil drips down only slightly faster than the new oil on a polished metal surface when held at an angle. ( a peanut butter lid )
Rather than take a whiff of the dipstick, i smelled the inside of the oil fill cap this time.
It smells like old oil to me, but probably has that gasolin-like smell others mentioned.
The new oil smells like the plastic container it was in, ( not much of an odor ) and now i wonder how old IT is. ( I need to write dates on things )
I started noticing oil seeping from the valve cover around the same time i noticed it leaking into the cyliners.
The oil is filthy, and looks like mud.
I think it's about time to change it.
