Namely, how often you run your engine, where you live, and what temperature you get your oil to during your trips. I hold that if you routinely run your engine (every couple weeks) and get your oil temp to over 200 degrees for a few minutes during your run, then you won't have any water in your oil to corrode. This is also drastically affected by where your plane is stored. I'd love to hear more discussion on this topic.
