You don't really need to fly it once a week. Once a month will do as
long as it gets an hour or so.

an hour or two *after* the engine temperature is at the normal running
temp range will see it right.

white oil? fill it up with avgas and fly out the tank in one
uninterrupted flight and it should be black again.

my aircraft occasionally sits for longer than I want and I find on a
long cross country that by the end of the second day's flying it is
running like a well oiled sewing machine again. flying for shorter
periods never seems to get the sewing machine effect where it runs
noticeably sweeter.

An hours flight will remove the water and I already use 100LL.
