Hello,

I was cleaning the engine bay and when I removed my oil cap, i noticed there was a white sticky thing mixed with oil under the cap...
I'm a Mercury Outboard dealer, that stuff happen in outboard engine when salt water get in the gearhousing ang mix with oil.
Aslo camshaft have a bit of rust on it, but other than that the oil look clean inside.
So what the heck?! I don't go scuba diving with my car.

 

Short trips or crankcase ventilation system not working properly.

 

blown HG or what ^^^ said.

 

I hope it is short trip. I just pull out the car couple days ago from the container and drove like 4 miles home. From Chicago to Tropical island, maybe humidity built up inside during the 1 month trip in container?

 

Just condensation happens to my car all the time as i dont drive it everyday

 

Thanks, good to know

 

hate to have h2o mix with oil so what someone suggest is to drive the car everyday? i plan to drive mine in good days only

 

wow thats crazy

 

Scary heh? To bad no AMSoil here to try.
I guess I will throw some Motul V300 10w40

 

drain the oil and check. Better to waste 30 bucks on an oil change than a few thousand on a new motor.

 

Yeah I would say drain it and see.

 

that's normal condensation. our full blow time attack evo does the same too. Nothing to worry about.

 

Probably a pcv issue. Thats not really that much. You caould check you coolant reservoir to feel better. I agree with vboy

 

Well since some said it is normal and yes I'm going to change oil anyway soon.
But just wanted to see if other people had that problem ( I have an 2.3L by the way and my previous stock 2.0L wasnt doing that )

Coolant don't move at all and pvc are fine

thanks
