Consumer Description

MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH 4.7 LITER V8 HAS A NASTY WHITE FOAM WHERE I FILL THE OIL. LOOKS LIKE SOME KIND OF EMULSIFICATION. MAYBE WATER IN MY OIL. I CHANGED THE OIL THIS WEEKEND WHEN IT WAS 2 DEGREES OUT AND THE WHITE FOAM WAS FROZEN IN CHUNKS WHICH THEN FELL DOWN THE TUBE. IS THERE A TSB FOR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HEARD SIMILAR PROBLEMS FROM OTHERS WITH THE 4.7 LITER. HOW CAN I GET THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED BY JEEP?
