The other day I changed my oil, and when I poured it in noticed it seemed to take a long time to drain back to where it started reading on the dipstick. I'm thinking maybe 2 minutes or a little more, then went right up to full.
In the old days, (chevy 350) when the oil was poured in, it registered on the stick almost immediately, less than a minute.
So now I'm worried the head has gunk and is slowing down the oil drainback, and REALLY don't want to pull the valve cover to check.
This vehicle has been over maintained since I've owned it, and gets oil changes every 3000 or 3500 miles with synthetic Pennzoil. There is no buildup in the oil cap area where I can see.
I'm sure someone on this list is as anal retentive as me and noticed this. Anyone? Is it a potential problem?
