SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
A customer may complain of an oil emulsion accumulation inside the engine oil fill housing.
The oil emulsion will normally be foamy and be gray or light brown in color.
The emulsion accumulation will often occur on cooler engine surfaces, like the inside of the oil fill housing. Modern engine oils are designed to address
the oil emulsion phenomenon. Oil emulsion accumulation is
normal and will not damage the engine
A new baffle and a revised oil fill housing cap have been released. The baffle and oil cap will help to reduce the amount of oil emulsion accumulation
within the oil fill housing.
