Oil scum?

[ChrisMcC]

Hi,
Was planning to check and top up my oil if needed, the dipstick level was a touch under so thought I’d top it up.
When I took off the oil filler cap I found scum lining the sides of the tube down into the motor.
Anyone know what it is, and should I be concerned and get to the garage asap!

Hope this helps

Oil Help Is this Normal ?!

Sorry for such a basic question but I have looked in my manual to no avail - is there a particular oil I should buy to top up ?

Condens bij de olie / oli bijvullen en goed warm rijden

The engine hasn’t had a long enough run to get hot enough, it doesn’t help as the the filler tube has a fairly long neck which is in a cold airstream so condensation forms near the cap. Rarely happens in the summer, it’s normal nothing to worry about.
