When checking my oil yesterday I noticed it had a green tint. It doesn't have a gassey smell to it, that I noticed anyway. I am running Mobile 1 20w-50 vtwin. The oil is pretty new under 800 miles. I am thinking whatever oil was left in the sump had a green tint to it or when I was having some tuning issues (carb fart) fuel went back in through the intake and into the oil. I would think it would smell like gas if they was the gas. Any ideas?

 

Could be Duckhams 20/50 which is actually a really good oil, this has a distinctive green tinge to it.

 

Not very likely, wrong side of the pond.


Maybe it's an anti-freeze leak.........

 

lol....antifreeze!

Could have had Brad Penn, it is green oil. I thought about running Brad Penn in mine, its good stuff....its made in Bradford Pennsylvania.....hence the name....=)

I don't know for sure, never heard of green tinted oil unless it is from a factory....

 

The Motul I used to use on track bikes, was green.
