rubber cement in engine oil

some dickhead put rubber cement in my engine oil, should i be worried?

Wow, what's the next "____ in engine oil" thread going to be on?

i think people have exhausted putting things into engine oil.

there will probably come a time where they just open the hood and change the oil for you..

as with most "X was put into my engine" question, the answer is "how much X?"

A small amount wont hurt anything. A large amount (enough to block a decent portion of the oil pick up sump) will cause problems.

just change the oil

I recently changed the oil pan gasket on my 92 eagle, and got a good look at the oil suction gooseneck that goes down into the bottom of the pan. It has a screen on it so basically anything big won't go up the hose and get lodged in the circulations, however, enough gunk and that screen could get gummed up and make it harder to circulate. I wouldn't worry about it, but just kick his ass for us.

the gasket that was on there before was nothing more than, yep rubber cement gasket maker, so over time that stuff had seeped into my pan anyway, so gasket maker/rubber cement are the same things.

:p
