There is the counter I was looking for.

Geeze...give the guy a break. He's from Turkey, we can presume that English is not his first language, but he's gone to some trouble to describe his problem in English. IMHO, he should be respected, not treated like one of the usual "feed me" yahoos.

Murat - that foam is a known issue, and not a problem. Go to

Ken

oh - and the oil usage is normal also .

I agree with ken - cut the guy some slack

I think Maz is just counting, nothing disrespectful.

I gave him the Link already for what we call a "Sticky" here which, if he read it, would provide him with all the info he needs.

We realized that Ken.......nobody was really berating him as what usually happens. He was given the info right away and straight up. Hell, he has better grasp of the English language than most on this forum. :rolleyes:

Milky substance is a result of water in your oil from condensation.

This is a known issue with RX-8's and is not harmful . A long drive should boil it all off. There is a fix, if you have a mazda dealership that can do the work. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.

Correct........it's just an experiment. No harm, no foul.

Ah - I see you did. Good work. I missed your second post...the glare of your sig distracted me - and flowed into the counter discussion.

Ken

thanks a lot guys! I will also check my cooler liquid level to see if there is not a big problem and I hope it is all about the condensation thing...
