If it turns out to be Redline oil, I run that in my Raptor and it is blueish-green.

this is normal. The red usaully last 10 - 15 hours of ride time and then the dye breaks down. It doesnt mean the oil is bad or needs to be changed. the oil breaks down wayyyyy slower than the red dye. Arctic Cat motor oil is the same way. when you put it is its green. After thirty minutes of run time it will turn to the goldish oil color.
