Hi \*\*\*\*\* to see you today! I'm sorry to hear you are having this problem.
Please give me one moment to type out some information for you. Sit tight one minute... I'll be right back!
Thanks for holding, Luke.
As long as the vehicle is not driven, it will be safe to wait until Wednesday. The sitting water in the oil will do no harm when the engine is not running. When the engine runs, and the water mixes with the oil, this is when the damage occurs. But the same rules apply on Wednesday- don't drive very far or very long, and try to avoid higher speeds and rpm's.
