two separate dipstick drops on a clean white paper towel would be sufficient.

compare the 'spread' of the oil from your engine with the 'spread' from new oil. The spread should be similar. It the oil has water, it should be pretty evident.

keep in mind that the temperature of the oil should be the same so leave the new oil container outside overnight.

not scientific but more ballpark. sufficient for your purpose I think.
