It would be called a "disaster" if we are talking about a mixture of oil and water in the crankcase of your engine. An emulsion if you are looking for a definition. _______________ Water and oil do not always form an emulsion. You can try adding oil to a glass of water or the other way round. Emulsions will only form when the mixture is shaken vigorously and soap (surfactant) is present.
