milkiness in oil???? what is it
 

alright i went to change my oil today and i found this in my oil filler neck...it literally looks like someone had done some X-rated things to my Filler neck. Anyone have any ideas as to what it might be....It smells like oil, but i cant quite figure out what it is...any help is appreciated..

Im running non seq, with fmic,intake,full exhaust,

milky/creamy oil happens when coolant/water mixes with oil. Sorry :(

just moisture build up from the oil. its normal.

or maybe not.

or you got some condensation in the filler tube because the weather is getting colder
wipe it dry and clean and see if you get again

i have have the same thing its just condensation... not a problem. What type of "crankcase" ventilation are you running?

crankcase ventilation? dunno

Im running a Stock PCV valve.

Thanks for the Quick Responses. Im guessing this isnt anything to really worry about?

Clean it out and then look for it next time.

Usually when oil/water mix (like a blown seal or something) it will be milky, but usually a little darker, chocolatier. That looks like white cream or something.

Anybody who runs the track sees the "mayonaise" regularly.. I wouldn't worry about it if there are no other signs/symptoms of impending doom.

dont worry about it. read in the first gen section, happens all the time to them. replace you PCV, and check your vacuum line going to your filler neck. The FB guys will tell you to come down a hill in a low gear, letting your motor slow you down at a high RPM. Generates a lot of vacuum and clears all that crud out. Worked on my FB anyways.

Unless its on the dipstick or in the pan dont worry about it .

did the drained oil have any milkiness to it?

milky crap in the filler neck often indicates a bad water seal.

sea-man?

My bad dude :mspank:








Wow, even I found that tasteless. From my understanding it happens when coolant mixes...but that's a little to white for that.

It might be the trojan seal broke!!!

do you have a oil catch tank?? probley need one.

Perfectly normal. I get that on my new reman. It's just moisture buildup.

In the 8 years that I've had my FD I have never seen milkyness in my oil.

I am not arguing with you all that say that you have that and it is normal. I have just never seen it. But at least if I my oil ever has that, my first reaction wont be to shit my pants lol.

It's normal, don't worry about it.

You live in San Diego dude.
Out here it'll drop in temp 30 degrees in the course of a day.
I'll get condensation on the inside of the car under the hood etc...

Oil Catch Tanks

GReddy Oil Catch Tanks collect the oil, moisture and blow-by gases that cause carbon and sludge build-up in the intake system and engine to keep them clean even under the hardest driving conditions. The Traditional (Sq.) model holds 500ml and can be mounted vertically or horizontally, while the high capacity 1000ml Lightweight (Oval) is better suited for vertical mounting.

off the greddy site.

I have gotten it despite having catch tank.
