how to take care of water in the Oil
 
I decided to change the oil every 2000 miles,

1. its only 4 quarts of 5w20 non synthetic, cheap.

2. Filters are cheap $4, $9 if I use K&Nand I have a filter wrench.

3. I have a heated garage and it has been very cold this winter in colorado.

4. The car seems to run better when I change the oil (haha)

Why do you think you have water in the oil? If it's the goo on the dipstick, that is not an indication that there is water IN the oil. Just curious.

It's just condensation. I used to have this probelm in the winter on my Ducati. Cure? Run the shit out of it. Get it really hot and keep it hot for a while and it will burn off. It worked great for my Duc.

yep, due to the volume of the rotors, thank god I dont live in a humid area, although its been humid here in colorado lately, it usually drier that a nuns crotch. You need to really drive the car more, and if you dont drive it a lot like me, you should change the oil more frequently, as it is the best thing to do.

remember to always warm up your 8, and in the summer, cool it down, idle....
