Could be condensation build up in the motor from sitting and being cold, then warming up. But I think it takes longer than 4 days to cause the cap to become milky.

Not true.

Condensation can build up within minutes. It all depends on the temps outside. Just remember how hot your motor gets. If your running a car and it is 35 degrees out, it can and will build up within minutes.

I have done this to prove it. Of course on a 1JZ engine, but you can see this will happen on all motors.

Oil that was used was Castrol Edge 10W-30 Full Syn. Switching to SYN will not correct this, and it is indeed not an issue anyhow. It will get to operating temps and clear away after awhile.
