[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 22398, member: 307"] If you have enough water in the filter that it is froze, you really need to find out how its getting in there. That is not a condesation problem. That is rain water (or wash water) getting in around a fill point or fitting. How white looking is the oil? Fyr We operate quite a bit in sub zero temp. I don't believe there is enough condensation to contaminate the system in less then several years. Machines that run for longer periods of time are less likely to have condensation problem though, because of less frequent temp fluctuations and if they happen to get the oil above 100C some of the moisture may vapourize. Most machines are designed with the idea that overheating the oil will be the problem. However in northern climates getting heat to stay in the oil is a challenge too, and requires special design considerations too. Lower reservoir capacities and bypassing of oil coolers or mounting them on the out flow (hot) side of the engine radiator and switchng to low viscosity oils may be required Ken [/QUOTE]
