You can use some Restore Engine Treatment to fix it.

Drained the oil tonight to see if it looked like what was in the heads and valve covers.,.doesnt look like it to me..

Could have been moisture build up. Short trips or a cold temp on the engine will do that. Just don't run it as hot as I do. Not even Mobil 1 oil will stand up to that.

i dont know what oil was in it. it was in there when i bought it. But i do know the car sat up for 3 years or so, dont know if it wasnt cranked at all in that time or not. but i know ive drove it a little.

Several people have told me that that oil looks fine. just looks like cheap old oil.

And that drain pan did have some antifreeze in it, but i poured it out b4 i drained the oil into it,but the pan was still wet with it.

probably moisture from sitting for that long. Im trying to remember if there was a TSB or Recall on something like that. Not working at the dealership anymore has its downfall sometimes.
