Oil change intervals

I dare say that the oils in our cars rarely reach 212 degrees F while being driven. Unless you have something with heating issues. Therefore each time it is driven without the oil reaching 212 for a period of time my statement applies.

In all the years I've owned her, my FE's oil temp has never reached 100 degrees Centigrade, and I've never had an oil report yet spot a drop of moisture. If I didn't know better, and I don't, I'd say just running her up to the usual 85-90 degree oil temp purges off any moisture that has condensed in there.
