[QUOTE="dirk0, post: 733974, member: 11503"] Meh. Moisture is in the oil is going to be removed more over time than straight heat. Being slung around pressurized, pressurized AGAIN, through the injectors and other areas of the engine for example, is breaking down the oil. Also, if I remember correctly.. fluids always keep an equilibrium of liquid and gas in a given space. Vapor pressure. The pressure is always constant, changing only with temperature. That being said, the fluctuation between ambient temp and oil temp will vaporize the moisture over the time you start the engine and drive. The vapor pressure (water\moisture\blow-by\whatever) is removed via the CCV. Oil doesn't "have" to reach 212*. For oil to have "water\moisture burned off", it would have to really be in a pressurized environment. Also, think about this. There are 2 vehicles. Exactly the same year, engine, trans, color, shape, everything! Except for the mileage. [LIST] [*]Vehicle A: 30,000 miles. 10 years old. Only driven on occasion. Oil changed every 3,000 miles all routine mait. done properly. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Vehicle B: 130,000 miles. 10 years old. Driven everyday, 20-30 miles to work. Oil changed every 3,000 miles and all routine mait. done properly. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
