chances you got a lot of water in your oil are slim. likely it will just evaporate while the engine is running and be scavenged off by the oil separator.

worst case scenario would be a LOT of water in the oil, which can cause the oil to froth, the oil pump to cavitate, and some very unhealthy issues with friction.

basically the water boils into suspension, turning your oil into something like champagne (like carbonated oil). if you pull your dipstick and see anything that looks like coffee w/ milk where you read the oil level, don't drive the car.
