I recently changed the oil in my lower unit. I went with lubrimatic synthetic blend outboard gear oil. I used the boat about 5 times and rechecked oil and notice that it is a little cloudy. I did not find any water. Both magnetics (on the plugs) are completely clean. The oil was a dark green when I put it in (only a month ago). Is this acceptable (caused by condensation?). The lower unit previously had regular 90W outboard gear oil. Could the last bit of regular gear oil mix with the synthetic causing it to cloud? <br />Any help would be great!!

Cloudy means water. If you let it sit for a while, the water would seperate out of solution.<br /><br />I would stick with J & E Premium Blend. 90W is not recommended for this engine.
