Coolant in oil, I have never seen it like this before.
Check out this video, it shows some "oil" coming out of the pan of a Triton V10. How could this happen?
I am working on this truck for a friend 99 F250 v10. The truck was taken to another shop where they replaced the oil cooler and radiator. The shop stated that there was still coolant in the oil so it was brought to me. I drained about 5 gallons of very clean antifreeze from the petcock. then went on to the oil and started to drain the thickest whitest oil I have ever seen. If you can view the video you can tell how thick the "oil" is. I had put the plug back in because it was filling the top of my oil pan and was not sinking into the hole. I do not think this was oil going in. Can anybody help me figure what might have happened? Thanks!

When coolant mixes with oil inside the engine it will created a milky goo or chocolate milk as some will call it which is a milky white or yellow colored oil. This can be seen when you remove the oil dipstick or the oil fill cap on the valve cover. You can also use a flashlight to look inside the valve cover to further inspect for coolant in the oil. There could be a very slight amount of milky oil on the oil fill cap due to condensation but this will not be present on engines that are run on a regular basis. When this condition occurs the most likely cause it a blown head gasket.

It went into the shop first for oil in the coolant, they replaced the radiator and the oil cooler. when they got it all back together and ran it, it out about 4 gallons of coolant into the oil and made it thick and white. I ddont know about the original cooler. they replaced the radiator because it was "all gunked up".
