Do you use cream, half and half, or milk in your coffee?

In other words, no one can tell you anything without some more info, particularly a picture of said oil.

Mine was the same color the other day when I drained my oil. Mines been sitting all winter and I've started it a few times, It was just condensation, I'm sure thats the reason for you too.

during cold winter months if the car isn't driven regularly it's common for oil to kind of milk up like that...it's just condensation most likely...or maybe a head gasket...
