Default wolverine drain plug and milky oil

Hi Hope someone can help. I have a 1995 350 wolverine with very little use, almost like new. One of the first times I went to change the oil I used a standard socket and started to round off the corners of the drain bolt. I switched to a metric , but it was slipping to. So for many years I have been siphoning the oil from the fill hole to change it. The other day I siphoned out the old oil and tried to "flush" it with some unlabeled oil I had around for years that I thought was 10w 30. Several slow laps around a 3 acre field the when I went to siphon the oil it was like creme with a tiny bit of coffee. Today I tried to flush it with some new 10 w 30 and several laps around the field and the oil is coming out like of colored creme again. Tried to remove the drainplug with ( yes i will admit it) vise grips. Now the drain plug is really distorted. any advice on removing the drain plug or why the oil is milky would be appreciated. ( or advice on where to get advice.)The oil may have been vacum pump oil, cant think of any other specialty oils I would have around.

Going to have to try to get the plug out. Stand the bike up on the back rack and try the vise grips again.If that doesn't work you will have to try driving a socket on the the head of the plug.

Agreed you need to get it all out, but you may have a bigger problem. Sometimes milky oil is a result of having water in it. Have you recently been in some pretty deep water? I would also check the coolant (not sure if the wolv is liquid) and make sure that you are not losing any.
