RE: water in oil By Gary Adam - 03/19/2004 12:03:48 PM; IP 198.166.244.12 Mike, I also live in a cold climate.(Alberta, Canada) I know that if you start a vehicle when its cold outside, and especially when there is high humidity in the air, you will get high condensation in the engine. If you do not warm the engine fully up, the condensation will eventually find its way into the pan, and in approx. the quantity that you have found. By warming the engine fully up, and then some, the condensation should evaporate. A cold thermostat will aggravate the problem even worse. No t-stat, worse yet. More colds starts and shut-offs will keep adding more water. This problem will also rot out your exhaust real fast as the water collects in the pipes/mufflers. Some say that is why you should change oil in fall and in spring - to minimize condensation. Hope this helps.

This thread, so far...
