that's right 6cyl thing most of the M54,M56 engine does that in winter.
msammy, go get the oil change and keep up with the warm up routine then you be fine. |

I don't believe it is any more likely on a 6 cylinder than a four, or eight cylinder BMW engine. I have seen it on other than 6 cylinder engines.
For msammy, applying full throttle will have no effect. That procedure has to do with carbon buildup in the cylinders, not this problem. The buildup is because the engine is not getting hot enough, for a long enough period of time, to burn off the moisture within the engine. It emulsifies, and collects. Not getting hot enough, and build-up of condensation, is primarily due to short trips. This is an early sign that you should maintain your crankcase ventilation valve, as the conditions that produce this are the same ones that lead to problems in that component. I would get it good and hot, change the oil, and do that again if necessary. Frequent short trips, particularly in cold weather, are a reason to do more frequent oil changes.

Has anyone upgraded to the "Cold Country" version of the oil separator?
I thought I'd read something about a unit which came with a small heater some time ago. Here's a link to the closest kit I could find "Cold Country Version" |
