water in oil problem

Asked by Courtney Jan 20, 2016 at 04:20 PM about the 1976 Chevrolet Malibu

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Is there a possibility that water can get in
the oil by having a hood scoop on the
vehicle and it sat out in the heavy rain that
just pass threw the colony area.

1 Answer

If water can run into the carburetor then yes. You need to change the oil and filter before driving the car.
