Oil feels good smells good, wouldn't you feel the grit if it were wear?John M said:I hope its not the grey, as in, metal shavings?????? :shock: I think you may have a combination of both previous replies.

Thanks Jim you maybe onto something there. Didn't think about it but think the last coupple times I ran it temp stayed a little cool. I blamed it on the colder weather.Jim in NC said:Mike, make sure your thermostat is working. If engine is not reaching operating temperature, that could be a culprit, and condensation can result. Also, if you suspect sludge, before oil changes, I have drained a bit of oil and added diesel fuel to the crankcase for a little cleaning. I will work them a little on easy stuff before changing the oil.
No it doesn,t. Heck I don't want to bet there is a therm. in it. Did they put them in this type of cooling systems?This is all new to me.John M said:Does yours have a water pump? If not, it wont show much on the gauge unless your working the snot out of it, tstat or not...
Actually I'm not either but you hear so much pro and con and don't personnally know much about them. Make no sents to me they tell you not to mix them and then turn around and sell you a blend of both :? :? :?: :?:John M said:I wouldnt think so, but Im am not the biggest fan of synthetic engine oil.
Thanks but yea coolant level has stayed full for over a year since last flushed and is stored inside closed garage. Most likely I just don't run her hard enough and often.soundguy said:ps.. IF you are SURE, 100% that you are not loosing coolant, and the oil still emulsifies, then I'd run the bajeebers out of her and get her warm to flash off any water inthe oil.
also cover any rain caps or breathers to ensure you are not getting rain / snow intrusion..
