Well this don't look good.
 
So changing my erl today and notice this foamy crap on the underside of the oil cap and in the tube, dunno what this might be from, but if it makes any difference but i'd just gotten home bout half an hour ago from driving around just long enough for the oil to still be warm.

its just from the cold weather. with the rubber flap removed on the radiator it makes it worse. ive got the same thing in the winter. and my valvtrain is perfect. dont worry.

thunder98110 Jan 5, 2011 06:27 PM

mine was much worse too. looked like half melted butter all in there.

just a side note do u have the plastic thing that sits in the fill tube? what the F is that lol

thunder98110 Jan 5, 2011 06:28 PM

yeah i do. i think its just for filling the oil up, i just remove the stick thats in there, easier to fill.

Josh Abels Jan 5, 2011 06:31 PM

yea thats what i do, man i forgot how much easier it is to change oil on our trucks lol, no funnel needed tube is so big, but changing headlights is the biggest pita in the world

The ram was the same way when I just changed the oil it only has 35,000 miles. It just from starting a cold engine all the time is just the condensation forming on the cap. My oil is easy to change if im just changing the oil lol My filter is kinda a bitch to change you have to go in from the wheel well and you can only get 1 hand in there.

They are talking about the little stick that pulls out.And Ive seen that junk on a million oil caps.Dodges with the big caps seem to bee the worst.I work in the TLE at walmart in case anyone is wondering why I've seen a million oil caps.
