Steam from dipstick tube??? I just got my oil changed with mobil 1 10w30. When I got home I decided to check the oil just to be on the safe side. When i pulled the dipstick out I saw a lot of steam come out. I think its just water that got into my oil. Is this anything that I should worry about?

Hrmmm, M1 is some thin oil, maybe some of it was vaporing off? I switched to shell rotella 15W-40 in my 5.0 (15,000 miles on the motor) and i have a lot less lifter noise and it runs a lot cooler according to the temp guage than M1 10-30 ever did.
