White Stuff where you put the Funnel.

Izhr818 · Nov 26, 2015

Hello guys. I was doing my oil change today and I saw this seems to WHITE GREASY substance in the area where you place the funnel in order to put the new oil. I have attached a couple of pictures. Please let me know if you have any idea or experience on what this is. Thank you everyone.

Have you always done your own oil changes? Have you seen it there before? Looks like water and oil mixed or a white lithium grease.

Probably just condensation from moisture looks normal

It's moisture buildup. It's caused by short trips where the truck isn't brought up to full operating temp.

yes. I have always done my oil change and this is the first time I have seen this.

thank you guys. Always a great help.

Have a lot of your recent trips been short?

I've had the same stuff several times. I've read that it's just moisture that gets into the oil because of temperature/humidity/seasonal changes and as others have mentioned, short trips without working the oil up to operating temperature. I wouldn't be too concerned over it.

Yes sir, just around town. Im guessing its the short trips. Ive had this truck for 5 years and only put in 33,000 miles on it.
