White mist in oil glass

Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by apuhtred, Apr 8, 2014.

  1. Just come to do the pre season oil change and noticed that there was a mist in the oil sight glass. Ran the bike up to 90c and it did not seem to clear so thought I would do the oil change anyway. Did the change and it is still there. Have again run the bike up to 90c but it is not clearing. Does this mean the oil has gone waxy over the winter and what should I do about it. Help please
     
  2. Go for a long ride and when you get back take the oil filler cap off. Let the bike cool down and then replace the cap.

    The milky film is just condensation.
     
  3. This is becoming the new tax disc question ;)
