I have just changed the oil in my car (155,000ks). When I took the oil filler cap off, I noticed crusty (I assume) oil based stuff lining the inside of the cap - as well as the filler area the cap screws onto.
What on earth would have caused this to happen? What do I need to do to get rid of the crusty stuff? Would it be through the whole engine???
I have only had the car 6 months, and the car has had FSH, but I am surprised at the situation as I am sure it hasn't happened in the last 6 months.
Yeah I get the same thing, I religiously do oil changes at 6k, Im sure I've cleaned it off before can't remember how, I just assumed it was some sort of oil vapour residue, so I wouldn't panic, but your point about the rest of the motor has me thinking. Thanks!?!
