    Hey guys. I'm changing my oil here today and I went to fill the spout with the new oil and there is yellow liquid in the oil cap and a little at the end of the spout. It's the same consistency as oil maybe a little thinner. What the heck is it? I've babied it so I doubt it's coolant in the oil but everything possible right? Thanks in advance.

    I've seen it changing the oil on a lot of tundras. I think it's just water and moisture getting inside the cap. I could be wrong though.

    Little bit of moisture mixed with oil. My 4runner had it for a little while (shortly after the break in period) then it went away.

    Moisture collecting inside the engine from the atmosphere. As long as you wipe it out when you do the oil changes, you're good. Some oils are better at ridding moisture content than others, Royal Purple is probably the best at doing that, and Mobil 1 does well also.

    I usually find a little under the filler cap when I change the oil. Just a little moisture, I clean it out, no problem.

    Not much on the 07 yet. 18 is gone, but was a greata truck. TRD Pro grill, Gator FX3, Homelink mirror, Black out badges & exhaust tip, Remote start. Future TRD exhaust, skid plate.
    Moisture in engine from not enough long drives at full temp. Take longer drives occasionally. Can also happen if antifreeze leaks in, but I think oil would be milky if it was.
