This sounds serious.

Take out the dipstick and put some of your oil on your fingers. If there is AF in the oil, the oil will feel and look differently than it does if it is uncontaminated. Usually, there is a greenish hue to AF but that differs by brand. Also, the AF has a slimey feel to it distinct from motor oil.

If you don't feel that you can discern this, drop by the dealer and they can do it in about 5 seconds.

I would caution you to do this immediately. There are only expensive fixes for this and the longer you wait, the more expensive they become.

Like, do it today and don't drive the car much until you rule out AF in the oil.

Hurry and let us know what you find.

Good luck.
