I recently changed my engine oil and oil filter at 4000km / 8month interval from the previous change. Now total mileage 33000km, March 2006 Old.

My mechanic, during the oil change, removed my oil filter and took my oil filter casing to wash with water. To his surprise, he showed me that during the washing of the filter case, the water turn red.

I checked the used oil filter, however didn't find any part of the filter contain red ink parts or prints (it was Mahle filter). My previous oil change was Mobil One.

We were totally confused and didn't know what it could have been, any one?

(Just a wild idea, could it be that my previous mechanic filled my coolant into the wrong inlet? (My coolant is red!) Could it have caused white smoke or anything that I might have noticed if so?)
