How to get water out of oil

[sleepy718]

What color is the oil? Milky color? Does the oil look contaminated and soupy? Pull the dipstick and smell it to see if it smells like gas or not?

Yes its milky color and smells bad

What i was thinking of doing is opening up the engine and drying the whole this real good but i wanted to know if there was an alternative or an easier way of getting the job done

Make sure water isn't getting in somewhere else... I think very frequent oil changes will get rid of it run it unfilled its super hot let it run for about an hour after the oil change it will cook off the water check your oil the next day and see if its milky again rince and repeat if it continues you have another place

If you changed the oil a few times and the oil still has enough water in it to make it milky then water is getting in there somehow.

Pull the dip stick and try to light it on fire with a lighter. If it burns then your getting gas in the oil not water.

If you keep getting the engine up to operating temperature and changing the oil and getting all the old oil out and putting in fresh. Now the new oil is milky I would say water getting into that engine somehow. Have you got someone playing games with you?? Gas will thin out the oil but not turn it a milky color. You are also saying it smells, Just what dose it smell of other then oil?

Hi is the oil you are putting in new?

Or is it oil you've had for a while?

Get some new oil!

Or you might be having us all on and using the mower under water LOL

If you can.....
Strip the engine down and replace all gaskets & seals & get some new oil, if you still get water in the engine then buy a electric mower

All the best from the UK
