Another pointer. My car never has Mayo on the filler cap. Not even the slightest sign.

...until they put a contro flow and average speed limit of 50 on part of my commute on the m4.

Now when I get home, there's a slight milky film inside on the cap.


As TB often says, the filler cap is a good sign of what is happening in the breathers as both sit outside the engine. If you have Mayo on the filler cap, you have Mayo in the breathers. ....and the engine isn't getting warm enough, as your not trying hard enough. ;)



....or your commute won't allow the engine to get warm enough.

No issues, but let it do at least 3 or 4 miles (not just for temp to hit right spot on gauge), and give it a couple of miles to calm back down. But between those times, there is only one throttle position.

As long as the Yanks keep fracking and the price of fuel keeps going down, then it's OK to keep flooring it!!  :y :y :y
