Default Has Mobil 1 changed???

Has any one notice that something is not right with Mobil 1 oil
This morning when I started up my Wife’s jeep it had a lifter
Hag up
I shut it off and checked the oil and it was full BUT it looked like mud
In my family we have four jeep Grand Cherokees with the inline six motor.
I check the oil every Saturday and have notice that all of them after a 1,000
Miles they all have Mobil 1 10x30 extended performance synthetic oil and
They all look like mud. Two years ago I had a 91 Blazer with the 350. when I got it at 20,000 miles I used Valvoline 10x 30 synthetic for 15 years and it never looked like this I change my oil every 5,000 miles and a few time on the blazer I would forget and got 8,000 miles and the oil still looked good back then I used the stock A/c oil filter put over 190,000 miles on that 350 and never had a problem on the jeeps I have been using Mobil one oil filter
So to night I changed The oil only had 3,800 miles on it . When I was draining it the oil had a funny smell This time I put in Valvoline synthetic 10x30 with the Mobil 1 oil filter After I was done I had a half quart of the Mobil 1 new oil I smelled it and it had this funny smell I then smelled the Valvoline and it smelled normal
The real test will be in a 1,000 miles and see on the stick what the oil looks like
Has any one else notice this problem with Mobil 1 ???
