Many flushes and many products later I gave up & no stats worked in warm weather so stayed with. Your right in thinking it doesn’t reach temp in the winter so starting & running for 30 mins every couple weeks could have caused the condensation issue.

There is your problem. Running the engine like that is one of the worst things you can do to an engine. The oil never gets warm enough to cook the moisture out. Most of the wear to any engine is during initial startup and running. Thermostats are needed to warm the engine faster to negate the wear. Quit doing that and you will be just fine. Your engine will thank you.
