Moisture buildup from too many short trips. Good on ya for changing the oil!

Get yourself a 20 oz cup of coffee, tune in your favorite radio station, and go for a Long Fast ride on the expressway. You really need to heat that thing up and blow it out. 50 to 100 miles ought to do it.

 If after you drive for a few days, check the oil again, and if it still has that creamy color, then you have a problem with the headgasket or a cracked block. Let's hope it's just too much short trip driving...

Had mine changed recently with a bottle of lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer....and it's a nice golden/amber color....mmmm pennzoil....    :P

BTW, I short trip all the time....hardly ever on the highway....and I never saw the creamy stuff.
