How Long Does It Take for Engine Oil to Turn White After Water Intrusion?

[JuniperDella]

When a car's engine takes in water, the engine oil will turn white when the water content reaches about one-third of the oil volume. Below is an extended introduction about engine oil: 1. Development Background: In the mid-19th century, people had not yet recognized the importance of gasoline, and kerosene for lamps was widely used at that time. Oil refining relied on simple distillation processes to separate components with different boiling points from crude oil. Kerosene, with its higher boiling point, was safe for lamp use and became the primary product of crude oil refining, while gasoline and other components were often burned as fuel. 2. Carcinogenic Substances: On October 27, 2017, the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) released a preliminary reference list of carcinogens, classifying engine exhaust and gasoline under Group 2B carcinogens.
