Exactly. I think this is crazily exaggerated. If it was any problem, all cars would be equiped with heat exchangers. Normal cars that are driven short trips are not blowing up left and right.

There is a video on youtube with someone installing a Forrester heat exchanger. He made video with oil temp overlay before/after - there was no mentionable difference in the time it took to heat up.

If you get that much water in your oil that is such a big problem, you need to check you head gaskets...
