Any thoughts/experience with this? This engine starts with no problem. I did change the oil awhile back and noticed it a strange lighter color, not the usual dark.

This does not always mean a HG is going. It happens on many vehicles that are not driven long distances. It is called condensation. An engine that is not allowed to run at full operating temperature for a while will build up condensation causing the white crud. Last edited by OOP'S; 12/03/06 04:14 AM.
