Goopy oil on dipstick V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Sisiohl volvo on  Wed Mar 31 11:37 CST 2010 [RELATED]

Since last winter, I've noticed when I check the oil that the dipstick comes out with goopy, light brown oil stuck to it. The oil-goop also looks 'aerated' as it appears to have bubbles inside.

I mentioned this to the dealer at the 180K mile check up and they said it is caused by a new winter-weight 10W-30 oil that they are using. I am not buying that story.

Can anyone guess what's going on? The car has been losing about a quart of oil every couple months (about 300 - 500 miles of light use) for the past 15K miles. But this is a new issue.

Thanks in advance.
