Default Sticky goo?

During my first 1800 miles (factory oil) I noticed that on the chrome exhaust tips, there was a sticky, gooey, tar-like substance that accumulated at the inside of the bottom of the tip. Everytime I noticed it, I would clean it off but noticed that it kept coming. I changed to 5W30 Mobil 1 at 1800 miles and now the gooey residue has disappeared. I can only assume that the oil change made the difference...and, wonder what else that "goo" is on between the engine and the outside world.

Anyone else notice this?
