The oil is fine. It would turn color if heat damaged. Mark Durham

In anticipation of a smooth trouble-free trip to Sturbridge G-d
willing, I have a question:

>From a previous post, my car overheated badly and was pinging loudly with the A/C on.  I don't think I ran it for much time since I shut off the A/C when I heard the pinging (remember the windows were closed!) but it DID overheat and the TEMP/PRESS light came on.

My question is, do you think I may have compromised the quality of the
oil with that intense heat?  I'm running Mobil 1 full synthetic and I
also add the ZDDP with each oil change.  The oil looks clean and the
engine runs nicely now.

Would you folks suggest an oil change before the 3 hour trip?

Thanks! and looking forward to seeing you guys in a week...Bill
