: Milky kaka on my oil dipstick

So apparently mazda says this is normal for 2004 and 2005 rx8s although they fixed it for the following years. I checked my oil last night and to my disgust found a milky substance on the dipstick. Apparently when driven in the cold condensate can build up in the engine and it try to escape through the dipstick.

Is anyone else here experiencing this? And do you think the $250 kit N3Y1-13-S80A is worth it?

I have seen this on both of my rx7s in the cold, i remember reading it to be normal.

Depending on the temperature it happens on my 8. Did it on my old motor and still does it with my new motor. First time I seen it I was worried because it never happened when I was living in Texas but it's just cause when the motor cools in the cold temps the moisture in the air mixes with the oil. I wouldn't be to worried about it I just let it get to operating temp before driving (takes about three min in my car most of the time)
