Well somethign recently broke on my boosted D16z6. So I am in the process of replacing it. Well I pulled the valve cover off of my D16 and found this black crud all over. What is it? I can scrape it off and it crumbles when messed with so its not pieces of rod or piston right? lol

 

burnt oil, what kind of oil do you run, i would recomend using a high quality synthetic

 

yup. synthetic oils don't tend to leave residue like that.

 

Honestly I usually run Wal-Mart 10w-30.

You aren't serious are you?

That's probably why you broke something in your engine... that residue is probably all over the place in there....ewwww

O wow I am sorry about the mess. Do you call your car a dirty little b*tch when drive? Walmart oil, damn you hate your car don't you. Oil is the most important thing in your motor man. GOOD LUCK

 

lol
I've learned my lesson.
Shes getting Synthetic oil 2nd time around.

 

Kinda looks like someone missed a few oil changes..

 

Yep, oil will start looking like that if left in motor for an extended period of time.

 

I see that all the time it is lack of oil changes. The oil breaks down into that sludge. Unless you have owned the car for a long while its probably not your fault. It takes quite some time for that to happen.

 

nothing wrong w/ walmart oil.. i use it in my turbo gsr... change it every 2K miles.. anf my internals look fine... slug like that is a result of neglect from oil changes..

 

lolz...when i go turbo, i planned on using synthetic. walmart oil? not good for car. lolz. its ok, you learn from your mistakes.
