Sounds like your additive isn't ok after all.
Take the primary cover off,flush gunk and try again.
Some oils eat stators for breakfast.

It's "all" of it because riding mixes the condensation (water) with the oil and turns it into a milkshake.

Change the oils.

Don't ride less than 30 minutes at a time. Less than that and you form more condensation and you repeat the cycle.

Don't just get it "hot enough" to heat up the condensation...get it hot enough and keep riding it to cook off the water. Think of a pot on the stove. It will boil fairly quickly...but it takes a loooooong time to boil the pot dry.

If you don't ride short rides, it'll help keep the water from building up to begin with.
