happened to take off my oil fill cap today and this is what i found, what is that? and is it a bad thing?

i run valvoline full syn 5w-20
change it every 5000 miles and
the only other weird symptom i have at moment is i seem to have alot of water that comes out of my exhaust





thx yall

 

I'm going to take a guess that you live in an area with cold winter temps?

That's caused by moisture build up from short drives where your truck doesn't get up to temperature. Same with water in exhaust.

 

Sludge build-up from short trips/drives. If you drive only say 5 miles back-forth to work rather than 20minutes, your engine doesn't get warm enough to burn all of the moisture that is indside the engine. Notice the moisture that is currently there. Changing your oil sooner won't do anything. Only letting your truck run longer between start-stops can prevent that.

 

yeah northeast ok well as long as its nothing to worry about thats fine thx

 

Take it on about a 2hr drive and most of the moisture should evaporate.
