So...when I checked my oil..I need changee btw, it was milky n bubbles. Looked like coffe wit cream u kno? Am I screwed??? X_x

When you change it check to see what it looks like...the dipstick will always have crap on it around here in the winter...unless you have been driving it hard for an hour or more to heat it up good


Unless it smells like coolant you are good ;)


Take the car out and get it good and hot before you change the oil :)

Car power seemsthe same ndosnt over heat atall. Also as some of u may know I just did 3k after my oil change

Has your car been in for the recall concerning this problem? When I got my car I had the same problem, but it's a known problem and can be fixed (if it's the recall problem, if not you may be in trouble :( )

This is a common concern in the winter time and there are many threads on this same topic. Your car is fine. The only problem is it is hard to read the oil level on your dipstick.

yeah there is a tsb for it too.

His is an 2004, out of warranty = NO TSB.

This issue isn't worth spending $$, just try to read the dipstick in as much light as possible. I drilled small holes in my dipstick at the full / low lines to aid in reading it.

OP, don't listen to them ... your engine is blown, it has been discussed plenty of times before...
