How much is "a bunch?"

1. There are hazmat pads that will remove
water from oil. Two terms you need to know
more about, ADSORBENT, and ABSORBENT.
Try here:

2. Do not heat the oil to the boiling point of the
water. When water trapped in oil reaches its
boiling point, it will release all at once in the
form of steam, which you cannot control. This
is not a good thing. BTW, as you rise above
sea level, the boiling point of water is less
than 212 degrees.

3. See 1 above.

If it were me with contaminated oil, I would
take it to a waste oil recycler and forget about
it.
