I recently purchased a 2008 Coblat and when i changed the oil i noticed
mayonnaise under my oil cap. the car was sitting in the lot for three months
before i bought it and i have been driving it long distance for about two
months now. the car only has 20,000 kms on it so what could be causing the
mayonnaise? the oil was fairly black when i changed it and i wasn't even at
3000kms since purchase, could it be that the dealership didn't change my oil
for a long time?

What's a Coblat?

Anyway, sound like you need to change the oil as a first step. You don't
know when it was last done and I wouldn't be surprised if it was the
original oil. Change the oil and take it from there. I would imagine
that you won't have anymore problems after that.

Sorry, just read that you have already changed the oil. Is the mayo
still present?

I presume it's another 'merkin muppet who doesn't quite understand the
concept of "UK" - with a Chev Cobalt (rebadged Astra)

Or a Canadian, judging by the mention of kms.
