Engine oil

I am new to the rotary world so if this is a lame question I will apoligize up front.
When I check the oil there is a white/yellow residue on the dipstick, this residue is thicker then the oil kind of a sludge product is this normal for the rotary motor ?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Boost it

I'm sure that you will get the oil issue fixed now. Can you add your location and car info to your profile and signature?

Thanks
