This issue apparantly has Yamaha and my local mechanic scratching their heads? To me, this looks like moisture getting in the oil.
SPECIFICS: 2013 225 SHO, 541 hrs, ring free used with every tank, only ethanol free fuel used. replaced oil filter and put in new oil 3 months ago, Yamalube 4 stroke 10W-30.
Compression test checked out fine on all cylinders, and a leak down test revealed no issues. Motor hooked up to computer while running WOT and no error codes. The oil in the fill tube and on the cap has the consistency of mayonaisse.
Photos show looking down into the oil fill tube and the "mayonaisse crud" on the cap.
Anyone ever seen this or have any insight? I feel like I'm running a ticking time bomb. Thanks!
