Default Oil Problem

Hi guys,

Today I decided to check my oil gage and I find some oil missing. So I add some by the oil cap but I discover this in it...

It is normal to see this kind of grease i don't know what it is after only 6000 km on it?

F-150 2014 fx4

Heres some pic




You can see that ive swap my finger in here to see what it is kind of grease....

I think it's a condensate/oil mixture, oil/gasoline mixture mess. Ecoboost engine, 5.0? Only 6,000 km on new truck? Have you only done city driving? Any engine needs to be highway run a bit.

I've read on this forum that it happens when you routinely don't let the engine warm up all the way.

It's just condensation from not allowing the oil to get up to operating temp in order to flash off the moisture. Its completely normal.

Throw her in the highway to get her warm and flash all the moisture out of it!
