You're close.
You should work in a power plant. Have water temps as high as 1,500F, steam temps of 2,000F. To get water temps that high. You have to have it under pressure. Pressures high as 3,000 psi. To get temps that high. Most use a 3 element boilers. For our discussion. Water starts to evaporate at around 100F. By 212F, it's boiling. And the little moisture that is trapped in the oil will be gone at around 150F to 170F. Unless you have popped a head gasket.
