I am a new member to this forum . Hi everyone !
My first time own the SUV , the 06 Murano SE / AWD . The service manual said replace the engine oil every 3750 ml but I notice that the oil color getting dark sooner then the regular car (sedan) . Is this normal to the SUV engine or there is some issue with it ? Thanks

SUV or not.... its normal. The oil is just doing its job of suspending particles.

The color of the oil is not an indication of its remaining useful life.

Do not worry, it is normal. And the SUV (by the way - I do not consider Murano SUV nor Truck , but this is a different story) or not it has nothing to do with it.

I am changing oil every 5,ooo miles and this is an overkill as I am using Mobil 1, which could easily last 10,000 miles...

Oil life is at least as much a function of the filter as it is of the oil. The higher filtration capability will extend the life of a premium oil. The amsoil EaO filters are the best there are. Guaranteed 25-35000 miles depending on the Amsoil oil used.
