You sure you weren't checking a glass of chocolate milk? Seriously, get
that stuff out of there ASAP, and send a sample to blackstone so that you
can find out what's going on. You don't want any suprises later on.
Although, the cold might have something to do with this. I usually change
my oil at about 4000 miles (I run Mobil1) and keep the level topped off...
This past time the oil filler cap was stuck, and when I finally got the
thing off, there was a little of that color substance on the inside but
nothing out of the ordinary in the oil. I changed the PCV valve when I did
the oilchange, hopefully that same thing won't happen again...
