Use the First In Synthetic Motor Oil's.
See My Bio For Information & Contact Details. Brown? if it is a dark brown, nothing. Normal wear and tear. Actually a brown carmel color would indicate a very clean and good running motor. if it is black, then the motor is dirty with 'sludge' and the best way to clean that out is to run the car for about 10 miles on an interstate, change the oil while hot, and do it again 2 or 3 more times, including the filter, to ensure all the sludge is out of the engine.

What happens if you use the wrong weight motor oil in a vehicle?
If you use the wrong weight motor oil in an engine, it is possible that you could destroy the engine due to lack of lubrication, either because the oil's viscosity is to low to provide adequate bearing separation, or because the oil's viscosity is to high to permit adequate lubrication. Use the manufacturer's recommended oil.

What could cause brown liquid to be sprayed under hood of car around coolant reservoir onto front part of frame and metal cylinder behind reservoir also car was smoking?
Check your dipstick to see if the oil has a milky appearance. If so there is coolant in your oil and you probably have a blown head gasket. If the oil looks normal and the fluid you described as brown looks the same as the color of your motor oil ( a bit dirty ) you have either blown a head gasket or craked the head. If your vehicle has an oil cooler you may have a leak in the lines to it or a leak in the cooler itself. There is also a type of refridgerant ( from your ac system ) that will turn brown when exposed to air.
