Looks Like Water In My Oil, It Was Milky Brown Not Sure What It Was. Please Don't Tell Me It's That Bad? 2004 115hp Suzuki 4 Stroke.
Milky oil is indicative of water intrusion -- not the making oil issue (gasoline contamination) from prolonged idle and not enough high speed operation to bring engine temps up. Water intrusion is especially bad since it can take out main and rod bearings quickly. Water is not a good lubricant. Was then engine overheated at any time? Any problems in the past? Overheating can crack a head or block or pop a head gasket. You need to find the cause and do not run this engine until you've determined why the milky oil.
