GSB Overview: | Service information for Cold Climates and Short Drive Cycles. |
NOTE: This information is not intended to replace or supersede any warranty, parts and service policy, Work Shop Manual (WSM) procedures or technical training or wiring diagram information. |
Overview:
- Some gasoline engines may experience a buildup of moisture in the engine oil if repeatedly operated in cold weather combined with short driving cycles that do not fully warm the engine.
- The thick milky substance under the oil cap indicates moisture/condensation is present.
- This condition can be more prevalent in gas electric hybrid vehicles that run the gas engine for very short driving cycles.
- When a thick milky substance is under the oil cap, this indicates moisture is present. It is recommended to have frequent oil changes and filter changes.
- Follow severe duty cycle in the maintenance guide. Following this procedure will help remove the moisture contaminated oil from the engine.
- To prevent engine damage under these conditions customers should be advised to follow these steps:
