What happens when you add brake fluid to engine oil?
Yes.Doesn't coolant and oil result in a "milkshake" consistency?
These days the latest fad is to obtain receipts from the parking lots of major stores (WM etc.)Most older walmart employees always ask me for receipt and card to refund back to and wont give cash unless you show receipt that you paid with cash. Seems they took advantage of a young kid early in the morning to pull whatever that was they did. They got away with it. Whatever IT was.

Then proceed into the store, take that item off the shelf and proceed to customer service with the receipt and ask for a "refund" on the item.
any sane person would not pour anything with broken seal. that is big nono.
oildudes even look out for fake canister clues..
I didn't think it's gel the oil, some people used to add it to motor oil to stop leaks to buy time on old beaters since it will soften/expand rubber parts.What happens when you add brake fluid to engine oil?
Was just checking on the status of an order at Amazon and ran across this image which does not have a clear cap, now I worried. The image of the back shows it's the latest.I will have to check that out. My latest jug had the clear cap.
Is that the same engine as yours?Looks like this type of thing has happened with the MB guys as well, appears they were using the right MB oil.

Years ago I worked at Lowe’s Home Improvement after high school into college. We had a regular customer come in a couple times a week to return items, but never bought anything that I could remember. Most of his returns we under $10 or were paid with a debit card. One day I assisted him with a return and I put the refund amount back to the debit card that was used on the receipt. Debit card purchases were given cash refunds if the amount was under $10, anything over $10 the customer had the choice of cash or back to the debit card. Well he raised a big fuss about how I credited his debit card instead of offering the cash on a >$10 return. This was years ago, not sure if it’s still the current process.These days the latest fad is to obtain receipts from the parking lots of major stores (WM etc.)

I'm calling ********. I've been around too many engines in my life to believe this crap. There is no way in the world this was caused by Rotella T6 or any other oil and proper maintenance. This post is ********.Hey guys, my father has a 2013 TDI golf with approx 324000km(201324 miles). Oil used in the car is Rotella T6 and oil changes have been completed every time the counter in the car indicates the vehicle is due. Recently he ran into a no start situation which was diagnosed as a clogged DPF by VW. The DPF was changed under warranty at the dealer and when the tech started the car he claimed that the oil light came on so he checked the oil and found it was down roughy 2 quarts. Tech decided it would be better to just change the oil completely. So tech pulls the oil plug and oil leaves the pan very slowly, and is stating he believes the engine is heavily sludged up and wants to pull the oil pan for further inspection. It’s at this point that I instruct my Dad to have the car towed to my place as this wasn’t adding up, I performed the last oil change on the car and noticed no issue at all with the oil draining. So car comes to my place and I pull the oil pan off and find massive amounts of this jelly sludge. It has a rubbery texture and breaks apart fairly easily in your hands. I was able to clean out the oil pan fairly easily as it doesn’t appear to stick to aluminum very well, the windage tray and oil pickup(plastic) however is a different story. I’m currently soaking these parts in varsol, which has helped with loosening the deposits however deposits do no appear to be dissolving, rather it looks like a bunch of permatex silicon floating around in the varsol. In doing some google searches I saw that coolant in the oil can cause this sort of thing, however we haven’t had to add any coolant to the car. Car had some front end work completed a couple of months ago, I’m concerned someone may have sabotaged his engine figuring him has an easy target(he’s 80 years old) . Would love any and all feedback!! Thanks!!

Probably a combination of several factors, such as engine problems, Canadian cold & humidity, and going cheapo and using the wrong type of oil (ACEA E9 instead of ACEA C3 with VW 507.00 approval) to save money. Also note that sludge happens over time over several OCIs.Hey guys, my father has a 2013 TDI golf with approx 324000km(201324 miles).

I was referring to the way the oil coagulated(texture and appearance) not the engine it happened in.Is that the same engine as yours?

What does DEF have to do with the oil?At least based on the comments in that thread this was not the correct oil for engine as the engine had AdBlue and oil for an engine without AdBlue. Incorrect oil was at least in part MBs reason for denying coverage.
Which brings up another point. Was DEF aded to the Golf when it had the TDI Fix (does Canada have the TDI Fix).
Did you ever figure out wha the recommended and actual change intervals have been?
