What are the symptoms of water in engine oil?

[DominicAnn]

If water enters the engine oil, it can cause the oil to emulsify, resulting in white emulsion-like substances. Water contamination in engine oil will reduce its lubrication performance, so it must be replaced immediately, and the cause of the water ingress must be identified. If the water ingress is due to an engine fault, it must be repaired promptly. Below is additional information: 1. Engine oil is the lifeblood of the engine, and the consequences of water contamination are severe. Engine oil not only lubricates but also cleans, seals, cushions, prevents rust, and dissipates heat. Without engine oil, the engine cannot operate properly. 2. When the engine is running, the oil forms a thin film on the surfaces of various components, preventing direct contact and friction between them. If components directly contact and rub against each other, it can generate excessive heat instantly, which is extremely damaging to the engine.
