My wife's car (actually my old one) is a 92 Nissan Maxima SE with 126k miles on it. This is the engine that has the troublesome VTC assemblies but that is another story. Anyway I was looking into the oil filler hole tonight and noticed that inside the valve cover area where I could see there was a brown film that had covered the area. It almost looks liked baked on oil
.
The engine seems to run fine but I can't understand why the film persists. It's always had the film since I bought it used with 30k miles but I've done 3k mile OCI's ever since, using Mobil 1 the last 25k miles. I know this sounds like a dumb question, but is this sludge I'm looking at? If so would Auto-rx get rid of this?
