How do you get water out of car oil?

I was checking my fluids in my 95 Camry and I turned it on before adding water to the radiator.My phone rang and I was distracted and accidentally added about 1 or 2 cups of water to the oil!How do I best remove most or all of it.Please be detailed about when to remove the oil filter.How do you get water out of car oil?
First, DO NOT start the engine. Drain the oil and remove the filter. Install new filter and oil. Run the engine at idle for 10 minutes and shut off. After the engine cools, change the filter and oil again. Be sure to wipe off the dipstick after the first change. this will get any water residue off. After the second change, run the engine for 10 minutes and shut off the engine. Check your oil. If there is any sign of water droplets on the stick, call you local repair shop for suggestions.How do you get water out of car oil?
Change your oil.Remove drain plug on oil pan,let drain meanwhile remove oil filter and replace it making sure to prime it with new oil also put some oil on the rubber gasket with your finger.Replace the drain plug.Fill the crankcase with the recommended OEM oil in the proper amount.Start the car and check for leaks.Shut the car off and check the oil and top off as needed
Water sometimes is present in oil systems when they have not been run for a while .....just run your engine and the water will turn to steam and dissapate from the engine breathers....that what they are for.....tickover for ten minutes will be ok .. dont worry
You need to change the oil and filter.
