oil problems

sgwinn · 04-02-2001, 12:10 PM

Just got my car out of storage and drained the oil. (it was about 8 or 9 months old and not much mileage on it) As I watched it drain out, I saw white goo coming out too. Anyone know what's up? Just fill er up again and go?

Sounds like condensation...when was the last time it was fired?

sure does sound like condensation. if you do start motor up it has to run long enough to burn off all condensation. as motor heats up this will form inside of motor. i let mine run untill the tail pipes are dry. hope this does you some good

I fired it up about once every 10 days or so for about 3 or 4 minutes. someone said to put in an additive that will clean out minor surface rust that may have built up on the cylinder walls. Anyone know of a brand of additive that is good? thanks
