hey everyone, so my oil light came on today so i checked my oil and it was low but while i was checking the oil there was some kind of residue on the dipstick like water, maybe from condinsation? my coolant isnt low so it cant be from that, i was wondering if anyone has had the same issue or might know what the deal is, and info would be greatly appreciated, thanks. here is a picture

 

Please, please, please read the winter sticky and search. For the love of god.

 

all types of people have that same issue...i havent tho

 

I have no sympothy for the OP. He posted his question in the correct section and right were he posted you can find Sticky: Strange "gunk" in Oil or on Dipstick - Info/Questions ( 12345 ... Last Page" target="_blank">http://<span style="font-size:small"...</span></span>)

I am the link **** no link for you

 

Happens every time it gets below 50, don't even worry about it.

 

 

booooo ruining the fun Fine, since you said that Ill bite. There is also a TSB that will resolve this issue. It only happens when it is cold out and the engine isnt run hot enough for long enough. If it bothers you, go to your local mazda dealer and make a stink about it. The will need to look at at first and make a judgement call of if it is "normal" or "excessive". Just complain that it makes it very difficult to check your oil level and they will do it.
