Please tell me this isn’t coolant mixed into my oil catch can

I showed a friend who is a car guy and he said it just looks sludgy but to my eye it looks a little milky

I am breathing a sigh of relief

The dipstick doesn't look milky, I swear I'm not an over protective mom about these things

100% normal. As the weather gets colder the stuff that gets trapped in there get get like a sludge and even be cloudy, milky.

If there was coolant mixing in with your oil, there’d be a crap ton more of it than that! Plus, your catch can would not have been the first place you would have noticed it...on the dip stick and even under the oil filter cap you would have seen chocolate milk looking stuff or some sort of milky substance....

I just purchased a new Elite Engineering E2-X system, complete catch can system as well as the clean side separator. The kit will actually ship to me Monday morning so I am hoping to have it by Friday/Saturday. Will install upon receipt. I have very low miles on my 2014 but want to have her around for many years to come At my age she will probably be my last fun car.
