I have a 97 V6 Camry. I was checking my oil today and noticed that after 2800 miles the oil is still a goldish color. I try to get my oil changed every 3000 miles by my local dealer (They use Citgo oil). I admit sometimes I go over the 3000 mile rule because my wife drives the car all the time. I have about 125,000 miles on her now and wish to do my own oil changes now. Upon opening the oil cap there appears to be a blockage of some sort maybe a 1/4 to 1/2 inch under it. I was wondering if this is supposed to be there as some type of screen or what? Is this something I need to worry about? I have had the dealer check on three different occasions for sludge all witch have been negative. Please help.
One more question:
Could and should I switch to synthetic oil?
Thanks.
