:skep: Are you asking because you did this? Or just wondering what would happen? I wouldn't even start the car. Drain it out and change the oil. But if you did do this, I wouldn't recommend you changing the oil yourself. Have someone who knows what they're doing change it.

Since he hasn't responded I think he may have done this (I can't in my wildest imagination guess how this could happen...) and is pretty embarresed right now. I just hope he new not to start it! :cheers:

I'm not saying that I did this. But if someone HYPOTHETICALY came home late at nightn and had to top off their oil and forgot about a bottle of premixed coolant 60/40 labeled in a Mobil 1 oil container that was too dark to see, it is possible.

And if this hypothetical car was driven the next morning less than a mile and had it's oil drained then filled up with a purifying additive and then drained again everything should be okay right?

Hypothetically, probably not, but don't dwell on it. All the hypothetical damage has been done, and hypothetically, the problem has been corrected. However, I would drain the hypothetical oil again. Of course, I don't see how, or more appropriately why, anyone would put hypothetical anti-freeze into a Mobil 1 container.

I ran a motor with 2 gallons of water and 5qts of M1 back in the day. It mixes great :lolg: I replaced the intake gaskets and the motor ran great. My advice would be to let it sit so the water settles to the bottom then drain, change filter and refill. Let the motor run for a while and it will steam out the water when the oil gets nice and hot. :seeya

Hypothetically, I think you'll be alright if you didn't drive it very far. I'm sure there are people out there who had a head gasket leak and drove their car home before they knew they even had a leak. Hypothetically, I haven't done this, but, I know someone who put anti-freeze in their windshied washer. Try looking out that windshield. Come on, I think we have all done something we are not proud of. Like that wife some of you guys married.

No problem. You simply have to hand the car over to someone who would never do such a thing. I know I'd never do such a thing so just hand the car over and no one will get hurt.

Drain it and put in new oil & a new filter. :skep: :rofl: :rolleyes: :crazy: :sad: :nonod: :nono: :yawn:

Well worded Hirohawa! That would be a possibile scenario that even I would buy!! ;) Hope all turns out well!! :thumbs:

If you say so... :skep:

I think I would change the oil and filter and never work on my vehicle again. :lol: :eek: :smash:

1. have your car towed to a shop and let them change it.

2. there is a C5s For Sale/Wanted section that you should probably check out

3. If you keep it, never ever open the hood of your car again without supervision.

Hirohawa

Harsh!

It was only two hypothetical ounces of the coolant not a whole quart.

Thanks for the advice.

This board is great!

BIG, BIG negative!!! Do NOT turn the motor over at all. Due to the large difference in specific gravities these to liquids will stay separated for a short period and that is the time to drain your oil/water mix. The very moment you crank the engine you will cause emulsification or mixing of the two and you will spread the antifreezes additives throughout your motor and that is NOT good for your bearings and friction bearing surfaces plus your oil filter WILL clog very, very quickly. Cleaning the motor of all that nasty crud will be difficult at best and possibly require pulling it for a tear down. Emulsified oil will take on a tannish appearance due to it's PIBSA (polyisobutylsuccinicanhydride) based additive content. This emulsion is real nasty stuff for your motor.

:iagree: but would also highly suggest that the oil filter be changed with EACH oil change cycle and examined. The oil filter is your best tool to catch/collect any remaining emulsified water/oil droplets. Personally, I would take the filter off each time and drain it to a pan and look for any "tannish" discoloration or clumps. I would also take a hacksaw or similar tool and cut the filter open and check the interior baffles for the same material. You'll know when it's clean.

Just my .02 ;)
ps...I'm a production supervisor for the company that manufactures the vast majority of the oil additives (bulk) that go into most major engine oil suppliers. I've seen a LOT of crazy stuff that happens when additives, in oil, get mixed with water bearing fluids in rotating machinery. It ain't pretty, it's hard to clean and there ain't no way in H-LL I would start my motor if anti-freeze...even an ounce or two were added. Drain and clean ASAP after it happens.

But hey, it's YOUR motor...do as you please. :lol: :lol: :flag
