Should oil be steaming?
I checked my oil after driving to work this morning (was about a quart low), and when I opened the oil cap, there appeared to be steam or some sort of visible vapor curling up from the opening. I was a bit alarmed. Should I be? As far as oil consumption, it seems I use about a quart every 3 fillups or so.
