  • oil

    How can you tell if there is coolant in your oil? I checked engine oil today and I expected it to be black since its got about 2,200 miles on it. but the oil was like a brown but wasn't very dark.

    Coolant in oil will usually be milky white/yellowish in some areas. Brown is just oil that is starting to break down. Black is totally useless oil that needs to be changed. Non-synthetic oil really shouldn't be black until run 4-5k miles. Synthetic oil will hold up much better, last twice the mileage, and not really turn black.

      If you want to be sure to get coolant in your oil, substitute a quart of prestone 50/50 for a quart of oil at every change. I do this everytime and have had nothing but luck :tup:

        Do you realize that a lot of people on here are so ignorant, that they will either do what you say or you will seriously confuse the **** out of them? This is why your BS posts bother me so much.
