Well you have a leaking somewhere that is allowing the oil and coolant to mix, you may need to tear the engine down to find it. Does it have an oil cooler, if so that may be the source as well.

SOURCE: Lexus ES300 White smoke out the exhaust no milky substance in oil

It could be the intake gaskets or even still the head gasket. How about the coolant ? Did you refill with same type coolant ? Have you noticed if it's thick and gooey ? mixing coolants will sometimes produce a thick gooey coolant that clogs up the cooling system. If the car ran hot it could also be a cracked head or block. Warped heads also. Somehow the coolant seems to be getting into the cylinder(s).

SOURCE: Engine oil moisture

Known issues or not,It sounds like the head gasket is blown,or it has a cracked head.If it was water it would be thick and light grey in color on the dip stick,But yellow indicates antifreeze leak that has not had time to mix with the oil.

SOURCE: Rapid overheating. New thermostat didn't fix it. Head removed... gasket ok. No apparent cracks in head. Main fan/clutch seems to work ok. Any ideas ? Mike in NZ

I know that this is going to sound like of dumb but I would check and make sure your thermostat was installed the correct way. I had a similar issue once, after replacing the entire cooling system on a 750iL it still over heated, turned out I put in the thermostat the wrong way. Always check for little mistakes first:) Hope this helps and please don't forget to rate me.

My oil is very milky had a service in January but it's still very milky any ideas? I don't do many miles on it

There is water mixing with the oil causing the milky color. Running the engine can severely damage it which will result in very high repair cost or event scrapping the engine. It is most likely the top gasket that has blown and replacement thereof is not very difficult and also reasonable in price. Get it done asap.

How could I fix my oil if it looks milky in my 1992 Suzuki GSX Katana 600?

Milky looking oil is nearly always water, this is usually caused by a blown head gasket.

to see if there is a possiblity of blown head gasket, check the oil and see if there is any coolant in the oil pan. If the oil looks like milky chocolate, you have a blown head gasket or cracked block/head

2000 durango milky substance in oil cap

milky in the oil cap is ok -- this is caused by condensation and oil mixing inside the oil cap and it is nothing to be worried about.
now if you look at the dip stick and you see a milky looking oil on it -- and if you do a oil change and notice it to be milky - then this is a sign that you may have a blown head gasket, and this you need to worry about.

Milky color oil on dip stick. 1998 volvo xc70

That would be a blown head gasket. Do not drive your vehicle like this or you can cause serious damage to the engine.
