Wow. What an accomplishment. Congrats.
I'd heard oil needs to see 212f minimum at some point so that it can boil off moisture that develops. Such a terrible problem to have eh?

   Actually, at 6000 feet, where a lot of folks fly, the boiling point drops
to 201F.  At 10K feet, it is only 192. 

   But water will actually _evaporate_ at much lower temperatures. 
That is how sweating dissipates body heat.
