Does dexcool in oil look like regular old coolant in oil? I drained my 5.3, it seemed to have more oil than it should (nearly 3 pans) and it was slimy and sticky. It was not the tan coffee look of water. I should have took some pics but oily digits and digital cameras do not mix. Jay

 

You filled 3 pans when you changed oil? Something is F'd up for sure.

 

Did you not check the oil when you purchased it? that would have definitely been noticeable on the sticxk

 

regardless of color, three pans? as stated above, something isnt right. it sounds like its mixing,

 

I Know somethings wrong. I just missed the stick. still what does the mix look like? Is it strawberry shake, or more like syrup. Jay

 

Check your radiator, perhaps your oil cooler is cracked........

 

Its a pull out. I do not have the truck. It also didnt have an oil cooler. Jay

 

If it had a bunch of coolant in the oil pan, and it's a pullout motor, I'd be looking for a new motor.

 

sound like it was pulled out due to a blown head gasket.

 

pull the heads and go from there. maybe was overfilled for storage reasons? I am thinking its most definitely head gasket. How do you know the vehicle it came from didnt have a trans cooler in the radiator?
