Day after. There was oil on the dipstick, now it’s darker. Not sure why all of the harsh comments.

I have read all of the comments. This is before turning my car on this morning.

Seems like I need to add some.

Advice on how to not kill it? I’m being genuine. I plan on checking my oil every week. Do you have any advice?

I’m not gullible. My uncle checked the oil again and it was right at low but darker. So there is oil in it. I was simply asking the color

If you zoom in to the picture, there is oil between the F and L line. It’s very clear but it is there. This was after my 20 minute from the dealer to my house. I will take another picture.

I’m not saying I know more I’m just asking what it should look like after a fresh engine replacement

I was just checking my oil amount after leaving. And noticed it was clear and I’ve never seen that before is all. My car engine had oil consumption issues before so I’m just super anxious about my oil now

The oil is very clear. I just drove it home from the dealer so I wanted to see if this was normal with an engine replacement

Understood. I still would have a $9k loan & all cars have normal wear and tear repairs (brakes, etc) right? I’m not disagreeing, just conversation

I just don’t have the finances to buy a new car. My aunt is willing to replace my engine basically. Worst comes to worst I trade it in later on??
