Tecumseh OHV Snow King 11 hp - White residue in oil?

Hi,
Is it normal to have white residue in oil when starting it after a 6 months storage? Is this humidity or mechanical problem? This looks like milk.
Thank you.

Ya....If you haven't already, get that out of there....then refill and run the crap out of it and check it again... At my old shop, we use to have customers kids fill there fuel tanks or oil dipsticks with water at time "playing" gas station, or washing them like dad.. Sometimes rain can get through the air cleaner assy of some types. The foam Toros and old Craftsman were the worst for this if parked under a eve of the house during monsoon season. Most likely it did no damage, If it starts to use or burn unusual amounts of oil you may have to replace rings early.... just as long as it was not a strawberry milkshake. Good Luck, Friiy

Yes, sorry if my original question wasn't clear. I meant milkshake on the dip stick. The oil itself looks good.

I have the same problem with my blower to, but I think that it is normal. have a problem with one of the screws that hold the auger in place, there are four screw two on each side. Last winter I Made sure that the screws were tight but not to tight, I checked the screws today and one of them were stripped out but the other three were fine. I was just wondering if that would be a cause for concern? Thanks for any in put Tim from newfoundland
