For instance, alcohol will absorb the water. will the oil then accept the water/alcohol additive and evaporate it with an hour so so drive?

Or just run the engine with the additive (or a proprietary additive?) and change the oil?

Or ignore the small amount of water?

ignore it as the water will burn off once engine gets to operating temp.

ya. ok. Thanks Benckj.

Forgot to ask the clerk at the auto parts store if they had a commercial product for the problem.

(Senior moment)

Oh well, I got a good memory it'd just not long enough.

Got another problem now. I'll try a new topic on Eclipse 2nd gen. 1997 420a engine absent some torque info.
