View Full Version : Should I change my oil?

Background:

A few weeks ago I was driving home from school when the hose that goes from the water pump to the thermostat housing somehow became punctured and all of my coolant sprayed inside the engine bay and covered everything. (Luckily I made it home just before it overheated)

My concern is that i have a MAC intake and that some of that coolant may have been sucked into the engine. The filter element seems like it is very dry, and doesn't have a deep red color to it anymore. The oil that is in there now is only 500 mile old Mobil 1.

Any thoughts?

I wouldn't think sucking water in your intake would contaminate the oil. May want to clean and re-oil your filter.
