HELP, Now my oil is GREEN!!!

I had to start another thread for this one. Putting back my AFE and CCV mod and I see green in the valve cover. Check the dip stick and it is GREEN. I changed the oil last week and Blackstone report good. Now I am stuck on what to do. PC Ford is the closest, but Damn! I may have it towed to Mike Davidson in Jacksonville for this. Stupid @#$#$@@#$@#$@#$$^%^#$^#%^!#$.
Something with that machine caused this. Anyone know how the "flush machine" at the dealers works?

Now i would start a real #$@% fit.

EDIT : do not know if cracked injectors cups would cause coolant in oil pan.

Does new oil have a stage of turning green as the soot gets to it? I have not milky look, just green.

No oil does not turn green at all. Im sure others will chime in but something does not sound right about all of this, i may be wrong on the injectors cups, does the degas bottle have oil in it?

Most new oil will look brownish green straight out of the bottle. Are you seeing the Flourescent green color of coolant? or just a lightly brownish green. How many miles have you gone? if it was coolant I think you would be seeing the milky color if it had been agitated more than a few miles.

de-gas bottle= clear container on the back of radiator that you can see coolant in. not the bottle you try to sneek cocktails into the races with at Talladega.

GREEN GREEN, like your hood ornimant.

Degas bottle, it is a greenish light brown, but that is how it was yesterday when I picked it up.

173.4 miles sence I picked it up yesterday at 1730.

did you coolant level drop?
id say if you made you oil green than a lot of coolant will be gone,
and another place to check for coolant and oil mix would be oil cooler , they are common for leaking internaly, check the coolant and post back

Coolant low , but the hose was leaking a bit too but not as much as the level was low, I think. Anyway, I called my USAA road side assistance and they only cover up to 18 miles. That would cover to Paul Clark Ford but there is no way they will ever touch my truck again!!!! Extra $66 to tow to Mike Davidson in Jax plus I may have to eat the $100 deductable from PC Ford. Trust me, I will try to get that back too. But the roll back is on the way.
173 miles......damage? I have the Blackstone test from only 200 to 250 miles ago to compare to. THANK YOU BLACKSTONE!!! How can they flush the crank case of the coolant fluid? Now my coolant flush may be for free, GEE, why don't I feel better about that........I'm going back out by the pond with another cocktail!! Maybe thin out the Brim some too.

Did they maybe put that dye in your oil to check for leaks? It is a greenish color.

Its one thing to have your truck roll away on the back of a roll back, but out of my own driveway??? I feel like it has just been reposed...........yes, many many years ago in my other life.....a teenager!

Question.
I have read that it takes 50 or so cycles to clear the SuperChips from the PCM, but does this work without starting the motor? I think I have carpal tunnel from this.
