I changed the oil in my quad last fall when I was done riding and now that I have gotten it out and drove it around a little bit I noticed that there is a white residue on the sight glass. Is this anything to be alarmed about or should I just change the oil and go on. It runs fine, but just want to make sure the white residue isn't anything major.

Thanks,
Brian

Your local dealer definately put some skim milk in your oil...................you gotta watch that.

how white is it, if its just minorly white its probaly just condensation but if your oil looks like chocolate milk antifreeze is getting into your coolant. If your oil is normal darkbrown your ok!

If it were me I would change the oil, then I would monitor it. Oil is cheaper then a bottom end.
