555Ron Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Is there anything special i should do to get the water out of my engine? I'm going to drain it out and put some new oil in tomorrow. I can't get seafoam here, but will this be enough of should i consider additives or do something special? Someone put water down the dipstick... Thanks in advance.

heep70 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Drain the oil and put fresh oil in. Drive it around for an hour or two and that will evaporate the rest out. If you didn't drive it around the water should only be in the pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heep70 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Try some Marvel Mystry Oil along with the new oil. (8oz). That will help chase the water out of the lifters and bearings. You should be OK after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
