Hey guys, this is Royal purple oil about 2 months old and about 1500 miles or so on it. Emptied the catch can after the truck cooled off a little, still a little warm though. Is this what it is supposed to look like? Looks a little milky to me? Coolant in the oil? Water in the oil? I don't remember the oil being this milky looking when I have emptied it in the past. I've been using the same oil since I've put the catch can on and have only had 2 oil changes since adding the catch can. Its a 2012 5.7L with about 17000 miles on it. Thanks for any input.
