04 linear bought it at 50k miles.
2nd oil change i flushed with Amsoil flush stuff, and put amsoil 0-40 in it.
but what made the big difference (i think) was flushing the oil cooler, and getting the iky goop out of it. after that, my oil stays new colored for 3000mi.
the problem with most regular changes and flushes is that the cooler bypass does not get to open.
it easy to undo the bypass valve and pull it out while doing the flush.
er.. remember to put it back in. (i write a note to myself on my hand with a sharpie, due to dementia)
cheers
chris.
