i just bought a new pressure washer with a CAT pump. Looking at the sight glass the oil looked kind of cloudy. Maybe it's just me I don't know. According to the manual its supposed to be in the middle of the glass and it was 3/4 of the way up the glass. I drained a little bit out so it's at the middle now. Draining the oil out it looked like the usual golden color. I only drained out maybe an ounce or two to get it to the middle of the sight glass, so if I knew that's all it would take I probably would have left it alone. lol Now the small amount that went into the drain pan looked a little grey in color, but then again it might just be the black drain pan making it look like that.
What do you guys think? Should I be worried or not? It's a brand new pressure washer, so I don't see how water could be in it. The box didn't have water damage, so I don't think it was from flood water Is it maybe just from break in? I'm sure it's run at the factory. I haven't even started it yet.
