Shaun, just curious, what is your reasoning in saying that water is death to
an engine?? Maybe if I poured a gallon in there, but condensation?? we're
talking like very little water here?
What do you think water will do to the engine???

If I had a new vehicle and there was water in my oil, I'd force the
dealership
to put a new engine in the vehicle or purchase a 100,000 mile service
contract
for the current engine. Water is DEATH in the oil system. This is a
serious
problem. It'll take several oil changes at about 1K each to get it out and
even then, you've no idea what damage has been done to the motor. I
wouldn't
screw around with this problem. I can only imagine what damage would be
done
to a motor trying to "break in"... ugh!

I just went out and checked mine, guess what it looks nasty. I'll be
calling the dealer first thing in the morning, matter O fact I may just stop
in for a visit on my way to work.
