There was a thread on this like last week on this same thing let me find the link.

 

i get that sometimes too.

When water, antifreze, and oild mix, the solution turns MILKY WHITE in color. If a milky white solution is found in the engine oil, it is an indication os a coolant leak.

 

also could be from condensation.

 

white foam usually means water in your oil. not the best sign

 

white foam is usually water in the oil.. not a good sign

 

Have you been losing coolant at all? Someone had a similar problem and everyone suggested that it might just be condensation getting into the oil. Check to see if you're losing coolant though.

It's just condensation hopefully. Read the other threads, try the suggestions, and report back with what you find. =)

If its like that every single time you check your oil, even after fresh oil change it could be leaking seal, but chance are its just condensation, sepecialy since its colder weather.

 

Please only post the question once

 

I KNOW! Wtf is wrong with the server today? It seems like a whole crap load of people are double (or even tripple) posting.

 

the condensation usually occurs if your not driving very long and your car doesn't get fully warmed up. As long as your coolant level is ok, I'd just change your oil and you should be all ok, just try to drive it for a good 10-15 minutes when you drive it, and it shouldn't happen anymore

 

People are getting impatient and pushing the button more times then 1 is the reason. Server is getting busted up from everyone on at the same time.

 

Its not that...the server is acting a little fritzy today. I remember trying to reply to this thread and eventually hitting stop cuz i gave up

 

The number of people triple posting is making any server problems triple bad.
