Look at your oil dip stick. If it looks like a chocolate milk shake instead of oil, you have coolant in your oil and you will destroy your engine driving it.
Nope looks fine just checked it today.

Re: oil mixed in my coolent

What sort of coolant have you been running/ is in the motor? Did you check your oil level and what it looks like? Is your coolant a thick milkshake or is it just dark and brown.

If its straight liquid, its usually cause of stupid dexicol and someone running water instead of coolant. Your more than ...

oil mixed in my coolent

So first of, it feels like I make a new post every day but I'm kinda dumb when it comes to engines. So I said about coolant leaking and the coolent looks almost muddy and dirty. Turns out that it's oil in the coolent. I honestly don't know what's causing this but I definitely believe now that it ...

Re: 2001 SE Bonneville no honk when locked

Nevermind figured it out, but if anyone is wondering it shows in the owners manual, keep doors closed, turn key to on, hold driver door lock button down on the lock position, press the trunk button once the horn will chirp but it won't do anything, any time you press the trunk button after that will ...

2001 SE Bonneville no honk when locked

Its been like this since I got it, I lock the car and the lights blink but the horn doesn't chirp. I don't know if it's just not a feature on the SE or if it's just tuned off but it doesn't have the computer like the ssei or the sle so I can't just turn the horn chirp on.

Coolant issue on 2001 N/A Bonneville

I've started to notice that my coolant drains slowly for about a month now and not sure where it's going, also it has started to become very murky and almost muddy looking. I was thinking it was a gasket but I changed the oil about 2 weeks after this started and it looked fine and still does. Also I ...

Re: window molding fix for 2000+

So not saying this happened or anything but what do you do if one doesn't come off but bends and now won't seal to the car. Not sure if I should just seal it with adhesive or just get a new one but I could find any for sale.

Re: What did you do to your car today?

I found out my fog light bulb is going out but anyway I compounded and polished my whole car after washing and claying it, the hood I took 3000 grit sandpaper to and used compound and polish to get the gloss back.
