First oil change on the IX with pics
It seems that Mitsu oil filter is different than the one that came on the car from Japan. It has a different part number as well.

Anyways, it was her first oil change and oil looked good.

That's just the oil in the small ridges on the rim of the oil filter that makes it look gold.
