When i change my oil after 3,000 miles, everytime it looks really bad... Dark black and alot less comes out than what i put in... Is there a way to clean my engine out or something like a flush to try and solve this problem? Thanks...

I wouldnt worry much about it. Oil gets dirty and thats why we change it. 3K miles seems a reasonable time to change the oil and you shouldnt have any problems. If you wanna try to clean your engine, try a product called seafoam. I know some people on here swear by the stuff and Im one of them, but others think its snake oil. Anyways, you simply pour 1/3 of the can through your pcv valve, 1/3 in your gas tank, and 1/3 in your oil and let the car sit for a few mins. Start it back up and watch the smoke show. Drive it around for appx 50-100 miles and then change your oil. Just my .02.

FWP!

Do an engine flush (kerosene in a can). I do at every oil change and at 5k miles my oil is still only a little brown color.
