I have a 07 hyundai Sonata with 3000 mi. The car is 6mo. old & has the original oil which looks dirty.?
The car can be used primarily for short trips though some longer trips have been made. Should the oil be this dirty with 3000 mi.? Does the factory install a break in oil or do I have a problem?

Since its a new car, you usually will have dirtier oil with the 1st oil change as the engine is just to get broken in. Those short trips cut down the life of the oil and like said above they use generic oil. If you want to go 7000 10000 miles between oil changes switch to full sythentic oil, although it costs nearly three times more then regular oil. sounds like you have perfectly normal oil so far, just be sure to keep it full and your engine should last a long time. Other then keeping air in the tires, keeping oil in the engine is the most important thing with any car.

most manufacturers don't put in a special oil to break in vehicles. dirty oil at 3000 miles is normal. it typically will be black in color as long as you don't see any silver or metallic flakes in the oil it should be ok. fact is short trips around the city are harder on the oil than if you make long trips. suggested oil change intervals typically run about 3000 miles for city driving and around 7000 miles for highway driving

At 3000 miles you have to change your oil anyway.

Actually its every three months or 3000 miles which ever comes 1st. I'm surprised you waited all this time to change your oil.
