black oil ^
ok so this is how black my oil is after 1 week...
i've got a knock on start up. nothing loud, can't hear it if i rev it over idle. goes away after i drive it for a bit. i've read everything from it could be a sluge problem blocking the oil pump (my oil pressure is at about 50psi about 1 second after start up), oil drain back valve problem ('01 XJ block has a horizontal mounted filter so it doesnt completly drain), piston slap (whats that? i read it's nothing to worry about), and it could be noises from the lifters but i herd that wasn't a bad thing either.
runs smooth, just changed spark plugs.
engine light is on for (one code for all the following): large evap leak, large oil leak into the header (or something don't remember exactly), cat failure due to possible misfire, and piston ring failure.
ideas?
doesn't sound like its gonna throw a rod it's not consistent knocking and it's not that loud
