Default Meh. A little varnish, but no sludge or build-up. Those cams are shot..

J/K (sorry, that was mean)

Everything looks normal. No worries. ;-)

Here's the Blackstone lab results I got on the last oil change in case anyone's interested...

You should measure the camshaft nose to heal before
you do anything else. Also, I would cut apart the oil filter to look for debris. I would guess that your engine is OK.

Default Just did cam adjuster seals yesterday...

I had the same varnish look, but my cam lobes looked a lot better - no visible surface wear like yours. Not saying that the cams are shot, but...

Mine has 85K on it, been running Mobil 1 since buying the car at 70K. 5K oil change interval. Who knows before that, car was a lease.
