Alright guys so I got a 67 barracuda with the 273 and my question is how normal or how often do you guys see condensation in these motors in the winter. I make about a 20 minute drive to and from work in it generally two or three times a week. I allow it a proper warm up in the morning but in the afternoon when the air is warmer about 50ish or so I jump in and play light foot with the throttle until it's at a happy temperature. Anyway today I check my oil and it's picking up a little mayo on the dipstick. It's not a full mix just a bit everytime I dip it. I have no noticable water loss, no oil in my water, that I can see. No indications that it ran hot but it's just something I haven't seen before. I usually drive it in the summer not so much in the winter. I'm guessing and I'm probably right that the right answer is to change it start it up drive it for a bit and check it again to alleviate or verify my concerns. Just hoping to scrape a little wisdom off you guys.
