Hmm, that kinda looks like apple sauce or something lol.

Any oil is better than none, but you might better off getting some new stuff since oil is fairly cheap...

yeah its weird aye, could it be caused by the temperature, my sister added some insight that when cooking oil is next to something cold it turns a creamy colour...due for a change soon anyway

Looks to me like someone's perhaps dropped a turd in there, and given it a little shake.

I certainly wouldn't be putting that in a car I gave half a rats ass about.

unfortunatly i'm an idiot and already used it before I posted this ops:

it was only like 500ml, and I hadnt topped up in so long I gave it the benefit of the doubt.

I'm just wondering why it's this colour, it hasnt done anything but sit in my boot

If it really is that serious I'll do an oil change, as I said its due for one, although I'm curious as to whats happened to it, anyone know?
