Re: Engine Oil Analysis
to remove condensate you would have to get the oil up to a temp it will steam the water out and keep it there. The oil has its own schedule of heating up because its not circulating around the cylinder. you can touch the pan and guess if its hot enough or you could send in a temp probe. I would guess a little while after coolant temp gets in operating range. Probably some 20 minute drives twice a month maybe some hour long drives.
As for analysis. Its probably money wasted. You could read up here at the ford barn and there are posts about condensate build up or fuel build up or what oil looks like with a coolant leak. For the model A your own visual and olfactory analysis coupled with a look at your driving and maintenance habits, will probably be rather accurate.
I would guess my car would show condensate and I should do a oil change before the winter to prevent problems. As I have not been driving my car enough.
