Stuff in the oil
98 EB exy with 5.4 and 160k miles.
I have had the problem with bad vacuum lines (po 406 etc.) I repaired all the vac lines and cleaned the TB etc. I checked the oil and it's full of creamy "stuff" that makes me think there was moisture sucked in there when the pvc plumbing was leaky. Any suggestions on how to clean this up? Prior to this problem the oil has always been nice and clean. Engine runs well.
Thanks!

That happens from time to time but this week it's gone 175 miles over two days. Any ideas on how to prevent such things?

If you have a carmel colored substance on your oil fill cap its MOISTURE. IF after the 175 miles you mentioned above you should change the oil and filter. Water in the oil DOES NOT make a good lubricant
