If you are watching this video then chances are that you have had coolant get into the oil system of your engine. In this video I'll show you my way of getting the coolant out of the oil system. First, whatever has allowed coolant to enter the oil system must be repaired. Typically a blown head gasket, faulty water pump, cracked head or faulty oil cooler (among other things) can allow coolant into the oil system of an engine. Figure out what is leaking and then repair. Once the repair has been made simply drain the old oil and changed the oil filter. The longer you let the oil drain the better. Reinstall the drain plug and fill the engine with fresh oil. Allow the engine to run. Perhaps take the vehicle for a test drive for 30-45 minute. Then, change the oil and filter again. At this point there will still be some residual coolant left in the engine cooling system. This will mostly be removed when vehicle is ran as the PCV system will remove it. It may take time, maybe a week or so, to remove the majority of the remaining coolant. Just drive the vehicle as you normally would after the second oil change.

Warning! As mentioned in the video I make no guarantees as to the results of using the information in this video, good or bad. As mentioned in the video, I do not recommend using transmission fluid to aid in the removal of coolant in the engine. While I have had success using transmission fluid I do not claim that it is right for your vehicle and will not cause damage. Also, it is fair to mention when using transmission fluid to aid in cleaning the oil system only a small amount of transmission fluid is to be used relative to the amount of engine oil used. This is not a "how to" video explaining how to properly use transmission fluid for this application. Use the information found in this video at your own risk. Do your own research.

Note: Be sure your repair actually holds before driving the vehicle. Pressure test the cooling system to insure that it holds pressure and that no leaks, internal or external, are present.

Please note: This video is not intended to be a detailed "step by step" how to video. It is just a high level overview of what I believe should be done to remove coolant from an ending oil system. Refer to your repair manual for information on how to change oil.
