Milky oil or not? - Honda Foreman Forums : Rubicon, Rincon, Rancher and Recon Forum

I sank my quad below the racks.

When I checked the stick and then drained the oil, it looked fine, no milky ness/grey at all, but when I popped the oil filter cap, it looked like this :

Is that water in there, or just dirty oil from the filter?

That there would be water mixed with your oil.

What he said.

milky oil looks like this. Sometimes its foamy, or frothy.

Yeah all the pictures I see look more white like that. Maybe I just didn't get it in there so bad? Either way I'm flushing.

when in doubt always flush again that is what I say (or my wife tells me)...... oh are we still talking about oil?

if your motor oil is milky, you might wanna check your diff fluid too.

Also if you extend the vent lines, you wont have to worry about that in the future. Even if you dont plan on hitting big holes its a good thing to do. Theres always the "what if" factor.... better safe than sorry.
