    Butler thinks the water is from condensation. According to the VOA of Havoline 5w20 SM GF4, this oil has 6 ppm of aluminum so my 7 ppm doesnt really bother me.

    Question on 2001 Honda Civic EX oil change

    When changing my oil, how can I get 1/2 quart or so of oil in the engine drained out?
