Today I was cleaning the family car, topping of the fluids and checking the filter. When I decided to remove the oil filling cap and to my surprise I found what you see in pic #1. I tried to get a pic of the insides but this is all I could get (pic #2)
all this crude and sludge in the cap is bad new for me and the engine or is just normal?
I normally use Castrol GTX 5W-30, rarely PYB on the same weight. But lately I have been using Formula shell. All of them changed every 3,000 miles or 3 months. Whatever comes first.
The car is a 2008 Sentra with the 2.0 engine and 73,000 miles.
