White Sludge
 

I had a fresh rebuild done three weeks ago and I have just gone through the break in period. Upon changing the oil I notice white sludge near the filler and the dip stick. Is this normal with a new motor.

Do you have a breather on the filler neck? Are the emissions still intact?

nevermind. Than god, I just did an oil change it must have been water that condensated into my oil cooler when the car was sitting. Just a little bit of clums around the dip stick and filler nothing clumpy in the oil.

no emissions and yes I have a breather

dont worry , its proabably cold where you are , its common in cold climate to build condensation in the motor ....,, especially under the oil cap and at the top of the dipstick!! its good to be aware though!

a few nice looong drives will dry it out. Guys that only take their cars on short trips have this problem.

changed my oil last night and had the same thing.

Paint the inside of your filler tube, or better yet, get it powder coated.

if you often start up your car and shut it off before the engine temp get up to normal, this is common. i dont think its a problem tho.

everyone's does this, search the forum I gave an explanation as to why :)
