I use 5x30 part Synthetic Halford's oil now as i had a problem with the 10x40.When i took off the oil filler cap it was covered with creamy sludge in the winter,and had to clean it twice a week.I even tried Castrol Gtx oil but same problem.Now with the 5x30 everything is fine.In the manuel it say's 5x30-10x40 or 10x50 oil can be used.
Ps- I drive a 94 Sportrak Elxi.
I read on here if you only drive a short journey,the 10x40 engine oil does not have time to warm up when the weather is very cold,and it is only 1 mile from my home to work.Since i changed to the 5x30 problem has gone away.Only got the sludge when the weather got very cold with the 10x40.I live Donegal,last Spring some day's -17 degrees.
Head gasket perfect,and useing very little antifreeze,so not getting into the oil.Might be cold engine block as not haveing time to warm up over short journey's.

lol
creamy mush round oil filer = water in oil, probably condensation due to the cold in the engine block, but other sympton is head gasket failure.
