Water in Oil

[loudelectronics]

Is anyone else getting water in there oil? Every time I do an oil change the water is milky. The first time I changed the oil when naturally aspirated i pulled bung and you could 3 count the water coming out before oil. Today did another oil change and engine was still milky but not near as bad as the first time.

The motor has sat all summer with this watery oil. My Nytro does not get this much water in it. There is precipitation on top of dip stick normally but oil is never milky. Anyone have a fix?

Not normal. Put fresh oil in spring before storing. Sure it's not coolant?

Not normal.... But.

How do you store the sled.

If is kept in a trailer without good ventilation. Metal sweats when heated and cooled from the day temps to the night temps. Condensation builds up in the crankcase.

Also if you start the engine when cold and shut off right away. Moisture builds up in the crankcase. Always when you start a cold engine. Get it to operating temps before shutting off.

A buddy of mine bought a Nytro and his crankcase was full of water. The guy who owned it stored it in a clam shell trailer with out good ventilation.
After a couple of oil changes things were fine.

Keep an eye on your coolant. If you are not loosing coolant. Chances are the milky oil is from condensation build up.

Also check you chain case oil. Condensation can build up there too.

It's not coolant for sure. I have heard a few other people complain of this as well.

Seems odd that you have that much condensation to actually turn the oil milky. Agree that you should change the oil at the end of the season.

Long long ago when I worked in a shop I cannot tell you how many engines I saw rusted internally from this. Better off sitting in the snow and rain than in an enclosed space (storage units do this too)

I remember reading someone had a water and oil issue back last season.
If i remember right it was tied into the check ball system cat put on the oil system.
When they took the check valve off water poured out. It was holding water in there behind the check ball or something like that. They thought it might be a snow dust/deep powder riding related issue.
I think if the water freezes in the check valve the motor will puke out oil everywhere.
Does this sound familiar?
