I toyed with the gunk on the dipstick for a while on a couple of 850s.

Even with an oil change, the gunk can remain in the tube.

I eventually used a couple of large chenille stems to clear the tube - chenille is a craft supply that looks like a large, colored pipe cleaner.

Cleaning the tube and taking a 20 mile drive yielded a clean dipstick - a few short trips in the cold made the gunk come right back.
