milk chocolate oil

[angeldust72]

after cranking the new engine, I thought it would be a good idea to cahnge out the oil. When I drained it , it loookd like milk chocolate ( no I didn't try to drink it, or put milk chocolate it the engine to start) . Could the moly grease I used to build the engine cause it to have this color?

If my memory serves me right I used the white lube myself on all my bearings and cam and mine looked like a good cup of coffee with creamer in it when I drained my last engine I built out. So I figure yes. was your moly grease white?

I’m confused; did you change the oil after cranking the engine…as in, before starting and running the engine?
