I don’t think I lost much coolant at all, like 2-300mL (out of the overflow tank…the rad was still full to the filler neck)

The oil was darker than clean oil, but had a very fine cloudiness to it…NOT like the light chocolate milk looking shit I’ve seen before when the HG fails altogether. When I drained it last night, I put some into a clear container so I can check for separation…I may even bring some into work and centrifuge it so everything separates. I’ve never had cloudy oil like that in my own cars, so it let the wind out of my sails a little.

Could be just heat cycling man. Don’t let it get to ya. Re-tq/re-fill and let her rip. I am sure it’ll be fine…

The first time I drained oiyee from my motor, (this was also after 20 minutes of driving) it was darker then clean oil and this was on a brand new motor too.
