A little bit shouldn't pose a problem.  Its probably condensation.  If you
notice much more or notice it on the dipstick, theres a possibility of an
internal water leak.

Brett,

Sounds like moisture (water) to me.  Not very unusual, especially during a
cold snap.  If your old oil was good and black when drained it was probably
water free, so condensation would be the source of the stuff on the filler
cap.  If you are driving mostly short distances it is quite common.  The oil
just never gets hot enough to eliminate the moisture through normal
ventilation.

If it was me I wouldn't worry about it unless it becomes worse.  Take the
truck for a good hard run then remove the cap and see what you get.

I've never seen this on any previous truck I've had.  Is that unusual?

Hi Brett,

I noticed the same thing when I just did the oil change on my 2000 F350 CC
DRW V10.  It looked like grease to me.  Maybe Ford smears it on the cap to
lubricate the seal?  I didn't do the first oil change on it because I had a
free oil change certificate from the dealer, so I'm not sure if the "foam"
was there the first time.  I had an early 99 F350 V10 for almost 2 years and
never noticed this problem on any oil changes.
