Question

I was at my dealership & talking with the manager who was relating a problem with the new 4.7 in a durango... He related that the oil fill tube gets filled with a white sludge substance (Like when you have a head gasket leak) that's from the PVC valve, after only 3000 miles!!!!! MOPAR says no problem & they have a fix comming.. Any of you run across it yet????

I've seen a bunch of these, In fact, Almost all of them do it. It's caused by condensation in that fill tube (It's cooler than the engine) It's not a problem & yes, there going to change something so everybody don't think they have a problem.
