I have a 1985 Honda gold wing interstate that has creamy oil. The guy I for it from said it ran hot so he shut it down so could cool oof so he could go home and he said it needed a thermostat so I got one on the way. Well I changed the oil and it still looks creamy and when I did take the old oil out it had a bad gas small to it and I put new in it and it was creamy as well. What could cause this and its not using water at all
Creamy oil only means one thing you have water in it. Somewhere oil and water are getting it together. The guy who you got it from said it ran hot probably not realizing that a gasket or O ring has blown. If it is a head gasket it means a strip down and it ain\'t gonna be cheap. The amount of water needed to produce creamy oil is fairly small because each component is under pressure. Good luck with this one.
Have the water system pressurised just to make sure the gaskets etc are ok !
milky oil is a you know wot to get all out without stripping the motor !
could try buying several oil changes of cheap oil ( wash filter out in petrol each time )and run engine stationary and no reving a couple of hrs each time so engine gets hot and then as the oil gets cleaner replace with top oil and new filter !

There seems to be an airlock in the system, as for the thermostate you can remove it check it out, fill in some water in a pan,insert the thermostate in it and heat up the water..you will see the thermostate ,if functioning start to open around 82 degrees centigrade or so.
Hope this helps!
Testimonial: "Thanks yeah it was an airlock removed the fuel tank and then pressure cap and pumped the tubes and air bubbled out once I started to fill more water"
