Hi All

My brother has a BMW 125i in Dubai. The engine oil is brown and slightly sludgy almost as if there is coolant or water getting in however there is no oil in the coolant.

He had the oil changed with a flush in between to clean the engine out however now around 10k KMs later his oil is brown and sludgy again.

Anyone got any ideas why this would be? The garage seems to think its just because of the climate however i dont believe that for a second. There is no way the oil should go this chocolatey brown.

Is the car losing any coolant?
