I done a oil change on my sherco 290 today, only brought it last week. When I emptied it out it was very light purple in colour. At first I thought it was water getting into oil, but I was told by last owner that it has had all gaskets replaced. I looked in radiator and the water level is fine. Does anyone have any ideas why the oil is this colour, is their a brand of oil out their that is this colour and their is nothing to worry about?
Cheers Justin

Old oils mixing I reckon.
Do a few changes and it'll be sweet.

Oil comes in all different colours, as long as it clear and not a creamy it should be fine

An American company called "Lubrication engieers" supply purple oils. I think some Bel Ray (also an American company)products are also purple
