Curtis, when you say to make sure that its not condensation, is it safe to run the engine with that oil in it? Its a new motor so i know its not compression issue, and how long should it run in order to get rid of the condensation if i can run it?

thanx for the info,

If its just a little cloudy, don't worry about it. Its fine to leave in there.
Cange the oil if you are going to drive it regularly or store it, without running it, for a long time.
Coolant in the oil turns the oil very cloudy, like a chocolate milkshake.
