still got cream on dipstick after flush and oil change.

ok done the flush and oil change, and after running her again for a few days ive got that brown-white cream on the dipstick,

i know the pcv needs changing, but would that cause the build up of gunk, also have the same stuff where the flame trap should be.after a few wipes you can see the fresh oil again.

If you'r only doing short trips its probably nothing to worry about,but if you'r traveling longer distances it probably means investigation.
Loads of imfo on it do a search it will tell you all you need to know.
Sorry just seen you'r latest post,that definitley needs doing.

True, I had no sign of this on my car when I was using the car 500 miles per week. Now I only do about 100 miles per week and now the dipstick is creamy. Oil change due imminently as it's 8k since it was done!

I do mine every 5,000,when its running.

That flame trap housing is defunt. When you drop the oil do you let it stand to see if there is water settlement ?
