I don't think (in my opinion) that it should be that cloudy, provided it was kept in a dark place at room temperature. I have heard they are one of the best. However it's always possible to have one that may not be the best. If it still smells like it did when you got it, it should be okay.

It is unfiltered and unrefined olive oil. A slight cloudiness is natural. Should NOT be clear like supermarket refine olive oil.

Ive had mine 2 yrs and although discolored, still works great, Never put oil on it though.

Does the oil have to be drained out and replaced periodically? Is it hot to the touch?

Try playing with the choke or disconnect the low oil sensor wire (female male plug). They say that metal particles in the oil affects the sensor. After the first 5 hours of run time you should do an oil change

from the factory they have oil on them and with the amount of heat created by the light it will burn the oil. This should only happen first couple times you use it, if it persists then you might have an issue.

Sorry, I'm not an expert. When I used this product with conventional motor oil I had high hopes but, ultimately, I was dissappointed. It's possible that the oil leak stopped for a little while but it came back and is significant.

My oiler worked perfectly out of the box, but last time I used it, I don't think the oiler was working well. I didn't have much to saw and made a note to try to clean out the holes, etc for the oiler when I had time. I figured it was just clogged...

There is no definitive way to decide when your oil needs changing. Generally...every 7-10 uses. I refrigerate my oil (peanut), and depending on the visible "cloudiness" of the oil usually change it out every 8-10 uses.

Hey....I have not had to change the oil yet, it's less than two months or so old....I have only used it 3 times now...are you having issues?

I treated mine 3 times before I ever used it. Then after use, wipe it off and put on another light coat of oil.

Mine also has a cloudy look. It seems to work fine and I've been pleased with it. It works as good as the other brand I was using that jumped in price from $25 a bottle to $65 per bottle so I looked for another brand that was more price effective and had the same ingredients. So far can't tell a difference in the product.

I had received mine while back but I believe mine came in similar condition. I thought the oil was a protective measure rather than cleaning

It should come right off. Apply something like WD-40, let it sit for enough time to let the oil work. If the oil hasn't worked tap it with a hammer from different angles to help release it.

Did you put the fine film of oil on the lid? I originally missed that on my AA. I have only gotten a slight steam leak once or twice, but it seemed to stop when I got up to pressure. Sorry I can't help more.

some type of oil, mine were delivered broken and it spilled all over the package. Hope this helps.

Perhaps you didn't drive the motor 'spirited enough' to produce a leak. Put the other half of the container in and go for a spirited ride and be sure to use a black light to check for the phosphor glow. A half ounce in your relatively small capacity motor should be enough normally. Also, if your oil has a grey tint to it (and especially if there's any foam associated), you could have a head gasket leak. This would cause oil to 'disappear' as well. Good luck.

There is a slight machine oil oder the first few times used, it goes away. I use it everyday and it replaced same model that was over 20 yrs old that I damaged.
