Welcome to the forum! Seems I've read about this lately...you might look at some older threads in this forum. The thread cutoff might be the last month, but if you go to the bottom left, you should be able to extend that to a point further back in time.
I used the google search feature and the top and entered this:
site:bmwmoa.org "opaque sight glass"
I got some hits...you might want to read through those and see if that helps any.

Don't want to, will not start an oil string but,
I used a particular brand of synthetic oil in my Oilhead and my Brick/Bricklet and it stained the sightglass to black in one season. We used the same oil in my buddies Oilhead and another Bricklet and found myself replacing all the sightglasses.
Easy way to change the sightglass, read it here somewhere, it is a 1 on the difficulty list, use a soldering iron, melt the plastic right through, use a cotter pin puller and it pops right out.

Past the time to replace! It is very brittle at this point.
A 3 on the difficulty scale if you feel like tackling it.
BTW...welcome to the Forum
9/10 times.
Then there is the 10th one which is corroded in.......no so easy.
Guess that's where my 3 scale came in...then the one someone sprayed bed liner over
Picinisco
Scottish Transplant
What was the brand? I have used Castrol synthetic for the last three oil changes and now cannot see through the sight glass. Is it only Castrol synthetic that does this or is it synthetic in general?
