The that your using oil is OK. It is the fact the the inline 6's need longer run times to warm up everything when it is zero degrees outside. As posted the "mayo" will return to oil/water vapor when it gets hot. The CVCC will separate it as it is designed to and send the oil to the pan.

Try this trick also, as yours is an auto, manual select the gears each trip and let the engine run higher revs a few times each trip. When merging on to the hwy, nail it and hit the rev limiter. These higher rpm runs tends to heat the engine nicely and accelerates the process.

Change then oil more frequently in cold winter months as it fall into severe service.
