Sludge in Oil -- help!! 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be Scott K on  Thu Feb 1 12:28 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I had my oil changed for my 80K mile tune-up about 300 miles ago at the dealer. And I just now decided to check the engine oil level and when I pulled the dipstick out there was this brown sludge all the way up and down the stick. Then when I looked down the oil stick hole there was sludge all the way down the hole. The sludge is this brown gooey stuff. Is this a problem? The dealer didn't say anything about it, and I only have about 4K left on my VIP comprehensive plan. My dealer never seems to find ANYTHING wrong even flat out blatant things. I am quite worried about it and I wanted to ask here first before I went to the dealer to inquire about why they didn't say anything about it. Thanks for the input.

Also the oil looks quite brown for being only 300 miles old (I use Mobile 1, at least I paid for it)...

Thanks in advance

Scott
