I doubt it but have you ever noticed sediments in the bottom of a quart
of Castrol ? I guess the additives came out of solution. The first time I
noticed it was in the bottom of the last quart poured into my 356. I
freaked out thinking I had used a quart that was left open and had
collect dirt. Hence I drained the sump. Then I noticed that all the
quarts were like that! D'oh! So I just shook each one well and went on
with it.

Good Luck and Drive Safely
