Jay, I was replying to both you (in Florida) and Judge Houston in
Maine--definitely two different climates in December. You say you are using a 30W oil,
but I have a hunch it is a 30 weight oil and not a 30W oil (I have seen 20W
oil, but never 30W oil--back in the "good old days" before good quality
multigrade oil manufacturers recommended a 20W in winter and a 30 weight in
summer). If you are using a 30 weight oil then it won't have the extra winter
additives. Note that a 10W-30 or 15W-40 multigrade is both a winter oil as well
as a summer oil. I believe you also said you were looking for lower shrouds
to add to the engine which would mean it would take your engine longer to
warm up without the shrouds and you would be more likely to see the milking
emulsion around the oil filler pipe.
Bottom line from where I stand is if you don't have the milky stuff on the
dipstick (which indicates all the oil is contaminated), but only on the inside
of the oil filler tube after short trips then things are normal.
