How to Fix Oil in the Coolant Reservoir or Coolant in Your Oil The consequences of diluting either substance should be clear - but in case it’s not, the answer is that you can expect overheating and/or severe damage to your engine if you try to drive around with coolant leaking into oil or oil in the coolant reservoir. You coolant has another purpose: it is designed to keep your car from overheating. In basic terms, your car’s engine oil is designed to lubricate the internal components of your car so that they operate smoothly rather than grinding each other up via heat and friction. Is Coolant in Engine Oil Dangerous?Īs we pointed out and as you could probably guess, having your coolant and oil mixed is terrible for the health of your car. We talk to customers all the time that have this problem. An accident that cracks the cylinder head or damages the engine block can result in oil and coolant mixing as well. Oil and coolant can also end up mixing if your engine overheats and either destroys the gasket or cracks the cylinder head. If you have a broken or damaged head gasket, you can expect your oil and coolant to start mixing. Your cylinder head gasket (aka “head gasket”) is the part of your engine that prevents coolant or oil from leaking into one another. Your engine is designed so that there is one system that controls engine oil to lubricate your vehicle and another that manages coolant to keep your car from overheating. If there is oil in your coolant or vice versa, it generally means there is a failure in one or more of your engine’s gaskets or seals. This can cause serious damage to your car, and if you discover it happening, you need to address it immediately.īut first off: how do oil and coolant get mixed together and what exactly can you do about it? Why Is There Oil in My Coolant? They cancel each other out.One of the problems you want to avoid when it comes to your car is having your engine coolant mixing with your oil.

Oh and while I was playing with the temp gunb yesterday (when Bluetooth was telling 240F) I thought I would check out the exhaust port, the one that is above coming from the engine, it was pretty the hottest thing I could find on the truck prob 220, by that time thing have cooled. MY temp gun reads 140 F on the upper coolant hose My coolant temp gauge on my andriod has a range of 120-176 F Riscorpian that is a good point, I have seen other forums touch on that topic. How many miles btw? Coolant look good or does it look rusty/muddy?
If you think you have a head gasket issue then you need to rent a pressure tester from the local auto parts store and pump it up to around 15 psi to see if you have a leak in the cooling system. You may have more horsepower than the old 2.5/2.3 but the old engine is cast iron and can handle overheating better. You get that engine too hot and your gonna warp a head.

Plus you have the DOHC which is a full aluminum engine (heads and block). It should only read a few degrees hotter than that. THinking about swapping out for the explorer radiator, any one have an opinion on that?Ģ42 seems high to me. Living in sunny Florida, my coolant temp on my bluetooth OBD II reports temps up to 242 F when I drive reving up to 2800 before changing gears.Īfter getting home and and letting it idle I get 180 F
As I am searching for the issue with my coolant, I am beginning to wonder if I am a victim to an impending blown gasket.
