How black is your oil at 3000 miles? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yea, you didn't mention the brand or viscosity the dealer used. That could be an issue. If unsure he changed at all I would do it again. May not have changed the filter thus pumping new oil thru old filter. I use Amsoil XL 5w-30 and change at about 4500, always a light brown at change time. See the posts here and the sticky file on how to change, it really is that easy.

Can you send me your used oil when you're done? You easily have another 5500 miles left in that oil! Why do you change it so soon?
