My last oil change after hitting 300F last year produced oil that (visually) looked broken down in watery streams. Very different than any of my other oil changes. This was with LL1 oil and AFAIK the head gasket was/is ok, no water/oil mix. Not a scientific analysis by any means, just a visual observation.
