Regularly check for oil leaks to extend the life of your engine. Engine coolant can leak into your engine oil causing costly damage to the engine such as loss of power, inadequate lubrication, or complete engine failure. To prevent this- here're are signs that will tell you the coolant in the oil.

COOLANT LOSS One imperative sign involves having a constantly decreasing level of your coolant but without any leaking from underneath the car onto the pavement or coolant dripping out of the exhaust pipe. SYRUPY, SWEET SMELL Coolant smells extremely sweet, almost to the point of unbearable. When you go to check your oil, & you smell even the slightest hint of something sweet on the dipstick, you have coolant leaking into your oil. MILKY COLOR Oil looks dark & has a thick consistency, if coolant leaks into the crankcase, you’ll see a small stream of orange, green, or red floating in oil. If you run the engine, the crankshaft & oil pump will mix the two fluids together into what’s called “the dreaded milkshake.” PUFF OF WHITE SMOKE If you see white smoke puffing out of the exhaust pipe, and it has a strong, sweet odor, this tells you that you have coolant mixing with the oil. www.shieldoils.com 965 2326 0396
