Oil Problem?

Very possible that as the oil gets some miles on it and mixes with a bit of the dirty old stuff it’s aeration properties change a bit …

I agree with Shane. Just ride and enjoy. For what it's worth, I would stick with with fully synthetic oil if it were me.

I’ve had that butter scotch color following a change also but not for long

Glad to hear we’ve had similar experiences.

I can stop worrying One more ride and all is back to normal. Maybe they could put a warning on the container saying this is something that can happen, would have certainly helped my blood pressure

I hear you. I freaked when I saw that color in my oil too. Just changed oil today after doing some work on my motorcycle. I’ll see what color it is either tomorrow or Sunday. If it’s like before, more riding! LoL.

See, ride and enjoy!

I rode mine for about 40 minutes. It was all normal after I stopped. Didn’t remember to check after initial start up. So if it was cloudy again, it goes away after riding.

It's good to know about all you folks' experiences. I would have panicked too, seeing a color that looks so much like 'water in the oil' . Thank you 'all' for the posts !!
