Hasanyone noticed the oil in their CX-7 getting dark very quickly? I pulled the dipstick today on my Speed 3and it was black after less than 3,000 miles (Mobil 1). It was dark enough at the 5,000 mile change that the dealer said that if it looked the same at the 10,000 mile change they would recommend shorter intervals. I'm positive that the problem is fuel dilution that both darkens and thins the oil and I'm not really happy about either. Have you noticed this same thing? Also, does your dipstick smell like fuel? This seems to be a DISI issue from the research that I have done.
