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.

Re: oil
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.<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/vracer111\" target=\"_blank\">My \'98 Camaro</a><br /><br /><a href=\"http://www.honda-tech.com/garage?cmd=viewcar&id=1223\" target=\"_blank\">My \'98 Tacoma</a>

Originally posted by TechIf 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:
