Hi! Guys.
Sorry to "butt in" but itdoesn't have to boil to evaporate at operating
temps below boiling the engine crankase breather should loose lots of water
vapour.
However the oil will have been designed to be most effecient in lubrication
at the normal operating temps of greater than 100deg C.
(IMHO) Probably this is why my engine needed replacement piston rings at 452
hours with the oil temps hardly ever getting over 50-70 deg C
