Oil fill cap condensation
I have a 2000 Dakota 4x4, 4.7, 207K. Every winter the oil fill cap collects that milky crap. I've searched the threads and havent had any luck. User error most likely. Will a pcv valve change fix that. mine does rattle. or is that just what the 4.7s do.i had a 2002 ram with a 4.7 that did the same thing. I bought that one new and sold it at 134k.

I would agree its normal. get out on the highway once in a while to get everything hot to evaporate it off.
I do short trips to work and when I went to change the oil when it was -20*c and I had not warmed the engine up...the oil would not drain as the water froze and blocked the drain plug hole. approx. 2oz of water came out after I warmed it up. The truck runs great...no oil consumption... it has 250000 kilometers. I change the oil before winter and every 6000km.
if you had a pcv problem; the air filter would be oil filled.
