  • overheating and oil change

    Well the other night I was racing a GT for a good 15 minutes and my car overheated. I let it cool off and topped off the cooling system. On the way home it overheated in my driveway. And it overheated on my way home from Autozone where I bought a new radiator cap. I checked my oil this morning and it looks like a melted chocolate milkshake. Is this a sign to change to oil like now? I noticed some valvetrain chatter on the way to the postoffice this morning as well.

    Sorry, but it sounds like you have coolant mixing w/the oil. This is not a good thing [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img]

    Good news is a left over 2002 model should be fairly easy to strike a deal on [img]smile.gif[/img]

      yeah for sure it is a leak. There really is nothing you could do about it but get a rebuild. it could be coming from any where; heads, block, intake manifold. the more you change you oil the longer it will last depending on the size of your leak.
