Chevrolet Suburban ? I just purchased it for $500 (please don't ask me why I did not pull the dipstick), sure enough there is coolant in the oil pan (quite a lot), but it runs out very well. I am getting ready to try two bottles of Mendtite, after changing the oil (not filter) with cheap oil (maybe straight weight). If this works, and there is only enough coolant in the oil pan to cause a little sludge, and I change the oil about every 500 miles, what are my chances of getting one to two season out of the rig, provided I drive it easy, and by season I mean about 2500 to 5000 miles - mostly 65 mph two lane rural highway driving. The gal honestly did not know this problem was happening, but said the last oil change was about 2000 miles ago. I just want to know if I have a chance of some light duty use without engine knocking, or if it appears inevitable. Thanks.
Can I get a professional prognosis on coolant in the oil pan on my 1979
