As your oil darkens and ages, it'll eventually start to burn. If you check the oil and it's jet black, then you can bet you've burned way too much so it'll drain less than the full 4-quarts on the change. That means you gotta change your oil right away, otherwise your pistons will seize-up and you'll be out shopping for a new engine real soon.
