i just made this post essentially monday. Im in the same boat with my GT. Most start ups i smell cooland faintly but no white smoke and no active leaks that i can tell. My coolant was low but could have been that way until i saw it, so i topped it off and have been monitoring the level. I have...

I went a hair above Max's I wanted to see movement easier, and it's easier to see with the Max Line there, won't hurt it being at max.

That to, I just did a already 50/50 since it wasn't much I needed to top it off

I found ford oem compatible coolant from orielys. It wasn't the same color but can mix just fine.

Correct. I already have, and feel like the level may be dropping again, which would be a problem.

im glad that most of my research across multiple forums and videos show that ceratec does this to the oil. I just filled it up with 10qts of Penzoil Platinum 5W-30 full synthetic, nothing else. My next oil change should be in about 2 months, i imagine i wont see the same results as this time. I...

you got a good point, ill switch the title back and type out my original post again.

Not needed anymore, I got my answer I was looking for but don't know how to delete the thread myself.

I have a long road trip coming up in the next month and that should push me close to the next oil change so fingers crossed it looks nice and clear come then.

I'm going to go the next 10,000 miles minimum with joil good oil and then I'll add more ceratec if needed and minimize how much I use. This is only if my Blackstone results come back normal of course.

I have no metal glitter of any kind in my oil, just the discoloration, car has 5500 miles on it now.

I'm going to run this oil 5,000 miles with nothing added and see how it looks. As well as I have a test kit from Blackstone on the way and I saved a jar of the oil I just took out to send in for a test. That'll confirm the presence of coolant if any.

1 300ml bottle is for 5qts oil, so 10qts would take 2 300ml bottles. I did a fresh oil change just before I posted this with penzoil platinum 5w30 full synthetic and didn't add anything else. So you think this is most likely the ceratec I'm seeing?

Doing some googling, people seem to say that certec will give the oil a cloudy look but is completely normal. Anyone able to vouch on this?

i had made a post yesterday about my exhaust smelling like coolant/Sweet so i decided to do my oil change today to see if the oil looked off. This is what it looked like, not sure it looks right, what do you think? *edit* i did add 2 bottle of ceratec at my last oil change, though it seems that...

I've checked the under cap, nothing built up as my 2015 had "milky" residue often under the cap but no engine problems at all for the 40k miles I had it. I know oil expands and contrats depending on heat, as I said to Zig, I just wasn't sure if there is coolant mixed in, if it'd be easier to see...

I'll check later when it's completely cooled down. Just wondering if there is a coolant mixture happening, if it'll be "thicker" or easier to see on the dipstick while cold and settled completely in the oil pan.

That was after a 8 mile drive home from work, checking it completely cold make a difference?

Just requested a kit. I may get a clean mason jar and do my oil change this week and get a jars worth until the kit comes in to send it back to them. More of a piece of mind type deal knowing if I'm in trouble or not.

Does this look normal for 4,000 Miles, full synthetic?
