Because that water/oil emulsion is going to eat that engine. Water
and oil eventually form acids.
When we used Exxon oils (EE80 and EE100) we found it going milky
like that, too. Nevver seen Aeroshell 15W50 do that. I'm wondering if
Exxon's formulation mixes more easily with the water? I don't know the
chemistry involved, but these are both detergent oils and perhaps the
detergent Exxon uses absorbs and holds the water better. Or, more
correctly, worse. When I worked in the machine shop we used water-
soluble oils for metal cutting; they were just oil with soap in them
to bind the water to the oil.
