Suspect oil colour

[JoshNZ]

I drained the lower unit oil on my alpha one today, thought it was a bit of an odd colour. Pretty sure I know what the reason is but after a second opinion... It was run 10 minutes beforehand, any chance it's just foaming? It does have a mix of two brands but...

Working on a rig to pressure test it now. Top seals have just been done so I guess I'm looking at the lower end now.

Normal then? I just rigged up a pressure test and put 16PSI in it, didn't drop a pound over 5 minutes.

Neither products were green to start with, is my only concern :/. Will leave it on the bench over night and see what it does.

Oil aeration alright.
