Is that fresh oil or is it the stuff from the factory?
If it was me, I'd change it. JMHO

Sounds like water in the oil. Condensation yes.
I would just change it out. Allen

What kind of vehicle do you have? Is it air cooled? or is it water cooled? Definitely water in the oil, could be condensation, but if the vehicle is water cooled it could be a head gasket.
