Sounds like it might not be a bad idea to spend the 20 bones for an
oil analysis. If there's a problem, that should spot it. I've had good
results from Blackstone Labs (www.blackstone-labs.com). They'll send
you a free bottle, you fill it up and send it back with a check for
$18.50, and they mail you the report a few days later.
One of the tests they do is water in the oil. For a sample report,
you can check out the one I scanned in at:
