the milky oil is a result of your not running the machine long enough when you do run it. run it a half hour each month, or an hour every other month even if you are just running up and down the block. your oil will -look- fine.
you should be aware there is a buildup in the oil of corrosive materials that do not get "burned" out, so changing the oil every so often (?6 months?) is still a very good idea, even if it "looks" clean.
I am told the high dollar synthetic oils resist getting milky better than the low cost generic oils, but I could not swear to that at all.

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
