You can use some Restore Engine Treatment to fix it.

Could have been moisture build up. Short trips or a cold temp on the engine will do that. Just don't run it as hot as I do. Not even Mobil 1 oil will stand up to that.

i dont know what oil was in it. it was in there when i bought it. But i do know the car sat up for 3 years or so, dont know if it wasnt cranked at all in that time or not. but i know ive drove it a little.
Several people have told me that that oil looks fine. just looks like cheap old oil. And that drain pan did have some antifreeze in it, but i poured it out b4 i drained the oil into it,but the pan was still wet with it.

probably moisture from sitting for that long. Im trying to remember if there was a TSB or Recall on something like that. Not working at the dealership anymore has its downfall sometimes.
