I came across a post on a Toyota 4Runner forum, and people are finding a frothy foam under their oil caps. I believe I remember reading here that Dodge/Jeep 4.7L V8s also have this problem, and it is partially due to an extended oil filler neck causing condensation.
My T4R V6 has a fairly long neck on the oil filler tube. I am not sure about the V8s. Does anyone here have any input?
Is this condition something to be worried about?
The attached link is to the T4R forum. I am including it because someone there has posted a picture of his frothy oil cap, although it doesn't seem like a whole lot of foam. Others have said that they noticed much more.
Any input is appreciated.
