I am going to do a 20 hr service myself before next weeks vacation, already changed the gear lube, it looked new still. Started to drain the oil from the crankcase, and it is NASTY! Brown looking and just not what i was expecting. Has anyone else noticed this? Does not smell like fuel, and not foamy or watery at all. I have about 18.5 hrs on it now.
Also pulled the water strainer from the exhaust manifold and did find a couple very small pieces of vegetation in there.
