.The air contains a certain amount of water
depending on where you live. It can be seen
on the lawn or you cars in the morning before
it goes back into the air. On a rainy day the
air is saturated with water that is pulled into
an engine as it runs and its not an issue for
the converter. What would be an issue is the
oil. Putting a gallon or 2 of gas that has 6 or 8
ounces of oil per gallon into a cars gas tank
that is half or less full could possibly overwhelm
a converter. If it was to cause a partial blockage
that would increase the load on what that remains
open. This could lead to a failure at a later time.
The oil wouldn’t the best thing for the Oxygen Sensor
either. Here is a link to what will cause a converter to
plug up.
