A 3 mile commute is pretty hard on engines, especially in winter. The water in the oil you mention is the reason.

With that short of a daily ride, a bicycle is a much better alternative. I know, I know, motorcycles are more fun, but bikes are much better for this short of a daily ride. You get infinity mpg and your health increases as well.
