Is it okay if a few drops of water fall into the engine oil when checking it on a rainy day?

Generally, a few drops of water are not a problem. More details about water in engine oil are as follows: Identification: Oil without water appears semi-transparent with a bright color; when there is water in the oil, the oil will emulsify and turn milky white, accompanied by foam. In such cases, to prevent engine damage, the engine needs to be cleaned and the oil replaced. Small amount of water entering the cylinder: In some cases, because the amount of water is small, the engine can still start, and the owner may not notice. If the owner continues to drive at this time, the piston may get stuck in the cylinder, the connecting rod may bend or break, or even pierce the cylinder directly. Such an engine may require major repairs or be scrapped, leaving behind issues like shaking, reduced power, and malfunctions.
