I'm wondering what a short vs adequately long trip is? My commute to work is around 20 km each way (~12 miles) with a couple short sprints up to 80 or 100 kph but the majority around 50 kph. Takes around 30-45 minutes. Longer and higher speed trips are irregular...maybe once a week or every 2 weeks. I haven't run into this issue yet, and the inside of my oil filler cap has ALWAYS appeared clean (no evidence of emulsion). Car is typically in a heated garage and heated underground parking. Opinions on whether I am likely in the clear?
