although our cars do consume alot of oil i have been adding way to frequently over the past month. So i pop the hood and look at the dip stick and its completley caked up lookes like a think milky substance all over it. I have an intake on the car , canzoomer and replaced the cat. i dont really beat my car more than once a month. but this seems to me what the oil would look like with a blown head gasket. I am really afraid to bring it to mazda with the mods in fear that they will tell me i voided my warranty. Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone tell me how to go about fixing it? my one friend told me the motor will probably cease if i dont take care of this soon, and I afraid to even drive the car now.

 

Has it been cold out?

Yes, Toms River, NJ does have a winter, got as low as ZERO this season.

Burnside81, this is normal and I have had mine through two winters with the milky stuff on the dipstick it does not harm the motor. Just because you see it on the dipstick doesn’t mean it’s in the oil. Also take a look at this Mazda Technical Service Bulletin.

It mentions a “fix” but all that does is keeps the foam in the motor. So this Mazda “fix” is to make it so the customer doesn’t see the stuff, NOT to make it so it doesn’t happen.

 

thanks for the replys i was really starting to get worried there. it just seems like everyday i find something new with this car. and after owning it for 1 year now i really love it but all the issues with the car really turn me off. oh well thank god i am patient enough to be an 8 owner.
