Filter is Baldwin. Car is 2003 Corolla with minor case of oil consumption. Oil was Maxlife synthetic 5W30 SL, 5,500 miles. I topped the oil with 250 CC of MMO 1000 miles before the end of OCI. Kreen piston soak done 9 miles before the oil change.
The warmish is soft and can be wiped out easily:
I used MMO and kreen piston soaks before, but never had this weird varnish.
I used Maxlife synthetic for the first time.
Has anyone seen this before?
Is the entire engine coated with this?
