anyone got a pic of how oil looks with water
i changed my oil last week and yesterday the cold air intake sucked in some water but car is running fine right now and the oil looks the same ive read if it looks milky and watery or if has little bubbles or something i should change it but i keep looking at it and i cant tell, it looks the same but i dont want to take the risk of driving it so if anyone has a pic please post it up thanks

go on a nice long drive (to get the motor up to operating temp, and keep it warm for a WHILE) and any water in the oil should basically burn off/steam off (part of the reason why those short trips are killer on motors and oil)
anyways most of that water should have passed right through the motor anyways, and how much water are we talking here anyways, enough to stall the motor???

water didnt get in the oil thru the air intake unless it already blew a head gasket- but it wouldnt be running then~
make sure the filter is ok and dont sweat it
to answer the question- watch tv news of the current oil spill - slimy on top of the water -
in radiator or dipstick its foamy, light brown and milky looking..not the regular color of the coolant for sure- you know right away
