I ckecked my oils today and it was a milky white. Can someone tell me what is wrong and how do I fix it?

Have you changed the oil since you got the car? It could be as simple as old oil with STP in it. If you are in a winter area, short trips, and have had up and down temperatures, you could have had condensation in the engine, putting moisture in the oil. that can give a milky foamy ring on the fill cap, and on the dip stick. I doubut if all of the oil is milky, that would indicate no lubrication at all, and you motor would be very noisy. Do an oil and filter change, and make it a HOT oil change so any crud is flushed out, then watch it for a while before you start looking for blown gaskets. At some point in time, I have seen some milky foam at the oil filler on pretty much every car I have driven, usually in winter, but it always disappeared after an oil change.I ckecked my oils today and it was a milky white.

well if it's milky that means that water is going into the motor and yes it is going to cost you some money to fix itI ckecked my oils today and it was a milky white. Can someone tell me what is wrong and how do I fix it?
A milky white mixture in the oil indicates water (or coolant) mixed in with the oil. If the exhaust is showing white clouds, it is again water in the combustion process. If the exhaust is bluish, then oil is getting into the combustion chamber. If the exhaust is black and sooty, then you have too much fuel in the combustion chamber.
milky oil is coolant in oil,when they get mixed it gets milky,possible blown head gasket or cracked head.
My friend, that is a classic symptom of a blown head gasket.
my dad had a chrysler %26amp; use mobile 1 (synthetic oil) on a trip south a serviceman put regular oil in it rather than mobile 1


it turned the oil whitish/gray and gummy the oil delivery systm in the car had to be cleaned %26amp; mobile 1 replaced it worked


this is a less expensive ';cure'; then replacing the head gaskets.


worth a try
you are probably getting coolant in your oil. the best case you have a blown head gasket. at the worst a cracked block. do yourself a favor dump the car and get something else...
It's most likely the intake manifold gasket. The aftermarket has come up with improved design. Get it fixed NOW before the bearings get wiped out.
If your oil looks like a milkshake, it's got water in it. Blown head gasket usually, or least it was on my 79 Trans Am.
sounds like a blown head gasket to me.
most likely blown head gaskets. type of car would be nice to give you more info.
bad news......blown head gasket
The Monte Carlo was not built with a 3.0, sure it's not a 3.4?


My bet is on lower intake gaskets, as I have done many!!!
.The 1999 Chevy 3.0 liter engine had a problem with the intake manifold gasket leaking coolant and that could in fact let coolant leak into the oil and make it turn a milky white. the fact still remains you have coolant in your oil, So you need to either get rid of the car or take it to a mechanic so he can try and figure out why the coolant is in the oil
you mite have a cracked block and your coolant is leaking into your oil pan.the only way to fix it is get another engine, you can get one at any junk yard!
A cracked ';engine block'; could do it also.(mine cracked right at the lifter valley inside the motor) That is what happened on my Corvette. One last tip: if it has alot of condensation coming out of the tailpipe is a sure sign!!
you have a blown head gasket you need to seek a professional to fix this problem the head gasket has water jackets where water flows through head to keep it cool when the gasket goes bad coolant gets in your crankcase and mixes with the oil making it milky. if it still runs don't drive it you could cause a lot more harm because water mixed oil will not protect your motor and you don't want to have to buy a new motor compared to replacing a head gasket. good luck
do a compression test on the engine. if the head gasket is gone it might show up that way. check the plugs while they are out, if any are cleaner than the others that's the cylinder that has the trouble. if all of this checks out fine, then cracked block is the most likely problem. if no leaks on the outside of the engine, then they're on the inside of the lifter galley or inside the oil pan. sorry to hear about the trouble. good luck!
