What is the best brand motor oil for a car. I use 5W20 as recommended by Ford for my Focus.?
if you have a ford or chrysler mid to late 80's then this is normal. They did not properly vent those engines and the condensation found the coldest spot and tried to escape. The dipstick tube and the oil cap. If you car is newer then I still could possibly be condensation but I would have to agree with most here that you are getting coolant in the oil. keep an ey on the coolant level and the oil level. THe oil should go down a little every 3000 miles or so or even stay full. And the coolant is normal to have to add about 1/2 gallon twice a year. THe water in the coolant will evaporate over time. Any more excess than that you should be concerned. Get a pressure test and they will be able to tell you if you have a problemIs one year oil filter worse than 3 month oil filters?
Actually, that white "milkshake" stuff is usually an indication that you do have antifreeze in your oil. It usually loses the normal color as it's mixed into the oil.Best oil to use for grand prix gtp?

Oil Changes and proper Car maintenance?
99.9% chance that you have a bad head gasket. There are additives that you can get at an auto parts store that may help, but sooner rather than later you will need to replace it. Don't continue to drive it until it is fixed. You will only make things worse. Get the oil changed ASAP.It will be kind of expensive.
If your engine needs frequent topping up of the coolant I would suspect a leaking head gasket, however if you do not need to keep topping up the coolant level the white sludge can be caused by the engine not reaching it's proper operating temp so it could be the coolant thermostat is faulty (cheaper than a head job)
Tail lights on 03 4Runner keep blowing immediately upon replacement. What's the problem?
If you take a lot of real short trips and never get the engine good and hot you can build up condensation in the engine that will look like white foam. Otherwise, you have coolant getting in through a crack or gasket.More Questions & Answers ...
