Tim,

Condensation is unavoidable in equipment that is used intermittently. Over the road trucks and equipment that runs continuously such as engines on compressors and stationary generators are the only situations that I can think of.

I just changed the oil in my 1998 F-250 and saw the milky stuff around the oil fill tube. I've not been driving it much to get it good and hot since being laid off from my job.

As others said, change the oil. Just this weekend, I had a conversation with a friend who started his IHC Cub on Saturday and drove it around. The transmission was clunking and when he checked the lube in the transmission, it had ice crystals in it. It probably hadn't been changed in 50 years. He ran it for a while to disperse the ice and changed the oil.
