Hey guys and gals, quick question for someone with a trained eye.
I have a 95 3.0lx, I performed the first oil change on it yesterday after picking it up from the previous owner. I have put about 30 hours or so on it.
After reading thread after thread about water intrusion I would like to put my worries to rest and have some other folks take a peek whom might have a much better eye for these sorts of things.
The first pic is a shot of just the boat oil by itself -
This second shot is a pic of the boat oil and a sample of used oil from an air cooled Honda motorcycle for comparison, Honda oil is in glass with red graduations on the side -
I hope these shots do it justice, i have looked for the majority of the symptoms listed in here such as increase in oil level, milk shake coming out of dip stick etc but have not experienced any of them. Hoping that things are A-Ok but would like to get someone else's opinion on the matter. I attempted to the oil on a paper towel trick as well and all seemed ok considering the top half of the container i used to catch the oil got sprayed with water from the fake a lake yesterday after I had it sitting on the driveway
I would assume I would see some more obvious tell tale signs from the pics correct that would indicate water being combined with oil in a running engine ?
No one has ever accused me of having a good eye for color
Thanks!
