The shiny white stuff may not be an inorganic precipitation like I first thought. It may be a shiny clearish surface on the oil / varnish that acts like a mirror and appears white. I've seen this before (in chemistry, not an engine).
You are also using regular fuel additives, this can also find it's way into the oil. So you now have a mix of oil flush, oil additives and fuel additives all mixed up.
My advice: stop spending money on all these extras. Just run it on good oil and good fuel for a bit and see how it goes. Like they say, a few short OCI is a gentle way to clean up an engine.
Thanks i will be changing my whole additive addiction haha..
The feel was very slick, was not really gritty. Im assuming it was Cera Tec. I poured it right onto that splash shield when i was adding it. could jsust as well be left over that did not drain to the bottom.
