I was going over my engine today and noticed this gunk/crud on my oil filler cap, and it's in the tube as well.

I've taken some pictures, shown below.

Anyone have any ideas what the hell that crud is? The car seems to be running fine..

Did someone dump some kind of oil additive into your motor that had teflon in it, like Slick 50 or some other garbage? What kind of oil are you using?

Moisture in the oil will cause that creamy white stuff to form. I see it all the time in my wife's daily driver during the winter because she has a short commute and the motor rarely gets fully warmed enough to burn off the moisture in the colder weather.

Something

I have the same thing. Thats looks like a bunch of condensation. A bunch of short, quick trips or leaving the car sitting for a while could cause that, along with a bunch of other things. Do you drive your car daily, or even frequently or does it sit for maybe days or weeks sometimes?

I drive it daily, my commute to work is 4 miles each way.

I'm using GC 0W30 oil.

I don't usually drive it but to work and back during the week.
I guess that would explain it.

It is definately moisture in there. Not sure I would blame it on short trips as I drive 1 mile in the morning and 1 mile in the afternoon most of the week and I have no signs of this.

This is usually a PCV issue or coolant in the oil to be this bad.
