Lol thanks now I know not to use glycol as a oil replacement. Since you seem to be knowledgeable what’s worse if you blow a head gasket and leak coolant into your oil ? A 50-50 mix of water and antifreeze , 100% water or the waterless coolant .? I believe that was the question.Coolant has no film strength or high pressure resistance. It doesn't kill your bearings because it's green or Evans or Joe Schmoe's, it kills your bearing because it's a terrible lubricant.
They are equally bad.The problem isn't necessarily the fact that there is water or antifreeze in the oil. I think the bigger problem is not knowing that it is there and turning the engine off and allowing the 2 liquids to separate. When you start the engine,the next time,water will be the first liquid to enter the oil pump pick up. I believe that you can't pull the dip stick too often,especially after some high power production or observed spark retard or the smallest incident that might cause suspicion.what’s worse if you blow a head gasket and leak coolant into your oil ?

Dsa87GN,
I'm in the Buffalo area too. How about another foot of snow tonight?
I agree with you guys but the question still is what would be the least hurtful to your bearings ? I’m sure you haven’t gotten any coolant in your oil before but there has been plenty who have unfortunately.
