Poor little Sei -

I have a bit of a problem with my Sei, I have had a oil change done on Friday and the guys who did the change didn't screw the oil cap on right. So over Friday night was really cold here in North Lincs. When I checked on Sat morning, I noticed that the cap wasn't on right. So corrected the fault

Now I have mayo on the under oil cap after I checked today not a happy person.

Could have the cold got into the engine block over night and have trapped mositure which is causing this mayo problem? As my coolant hasn't gone down.

Thanks

Mayo in the cap is not a problem as long as it doesn't get anywhere else. There will be plenty condensation around in crank breathers at this time of year. Should not be a cause for panic,

Cheers

If you mainly use the car for short runs only, make sure you take it for a good
long thrash once a week. Usually does the trick

Chills - well thats okay - I do in a region of 300 miles every 10 days to work etc... and this was a worry. Now all I gotta do is keep an eye out on the coolant

Thanks Guys

Put some Mobil 1, 15/50 in it,& wave good goodbye to mayo.

Yeah, but only thrash it when the engine's warm, especailly in this weather :-(

Didn't mean thrash it as such. Just a good long run out will clear any
condensation that's built up !!

Currently running on 0/50w - tappets are now cured!!!! and the mayo has gone.. Just the cold air got into the engine when the oil filler cap was off

Not a wild fan of 0W50. Its a bit thin and can leak from very small holes. keep a careful eye on the level.

I am, topping it up as we go on these cars

Only a temp to cure the tappets, then I will go back to 10w/40
