So...i'm a lazy bastard this year and for the first time, waited 8mo to change the oil in my M42, I drive the car very seldomly and with moving and work stress, never got around to changing the oil. I doubt I put 3k on it since the last oil change though.
I check the oil cap, and theres a little caffe latte smear on it. So my first thought is an about to fail HG. BTW the car runs cool still, no overheating issues. So I proceed with the oil change and the oil comes out black, and as consistent as oil comes. With new oil in, and the cap wiped off, I put 10mi in the car, then check the oil cap again. Another little smear of caffe latte. Still no overheating.
I consulted a few gearheads of mine and they agree it could just be a lil moisture in contact w/oil. I'm hoping its not a HG related problem, because that means its S-motor SWAP TIME for me, and i'm not financially ready (cash in hand) to do it just yet.
Is this normal?
