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

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.

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.
