well, oil gets thin when ehated, but it shouldnt get hot enough in your car to amke it thin like water. thats really strange. what brand and weight is the oil. how si your car running after you changed the oil with the new 'watery' oil? if your really that concerned go buy some new oil and re-change it. it'll only cost you 20 bucks or so and give you peace of mind
