last weekend topped my oil up with some halfords 10w 40 that had been open on the shelf in the garage for a while
having checked the level today and removing the oil cap there was a load of 'white cream cheese' looking stuff on the inside of the cap
water levels are fine
so the question is have i used the wrong oil
or will the 'old' possibly have been contaminated
used less than 500ml not sure what brand or spec was used on last service
the cars a 2001 and service has been changed to fixed serving schedule
700miles till next service showing
any suggestions ?
should i get it to a garage and have it flushed and fresh oil added
