You can tell if you have water in your oil as it emulsifies in the filler cap (White gunge) if there is only a small amount if this emulsified oil and you dont do long journies dont worry about it as its the short journies that cause it too.

good advice and applicable to this car. Newer cars that use synthetic or semi synthetic oil can go a lot longer between oil changes. Some are up to 20K or 2 years now.
