[IMG]http://s27.postimg.org/f22g1a0fz/IMG_0113.jpg[/IMG] Has any body ever seen this inside there Oil Filler tube? I was at my shop today changing a vacuum hose when i decided to just twist open the Oil Filler cap. Not expecting white gewy crap to be in there. I checked my Dip stick right after, but no sign of milky oil or anything out of the ordinary. I Did do an oil change (the first oil change ive done on this car actually) a couple weeks ago. I've used Shell 20w-50 not that i think it has to do anything with that stuff being in there, but hey you never know! Its a 10 Anniversary BTW (My first car/first rotary):bigthumb: Car is Completely Stock Except for a Cold air intake and Exhaust. |
condensation.
..called "Lung mustard" by some guys. It's somewhat normal. BUT if you find you are having any coolant issues,then NO it is not normal. |
Yes condensation caused by coolant in your oil, or water in your oil. If you haven't already solved the issue, just do an oil change after you run a little engine cleaner through it. Make sure to follow the instructions because even I don't trust that stuff. But it does get gunk out.good luck!

No coolant problems for sure. Is there a remedy too preventing this so called "lung mustard"?I've seen a couple of threads of guys drilling holes on the oil cap. Not to fond of that idea since I'm a stickler for stock! What does Mazda say about that stuff? Any TSB's on it?

I don't know if you can get rid of it easy or not but I've seen it in other cars as well.

Happened to my 86, change the oil and drive a bit more.
|
I don't know about your modern car, but on an fb run a tube with a pcv valve to a vacuum source.
