Even redline for 1/4 mile won't get the oil hot.And if not on the highway always drive in a lower gear.
My Corolla habitually is short tripped as shown by its low total mileage. That being said, in all the years of me changing the oil, it never came out like that. Sorry to say you have other things going on in that 1ZZFE.
That doesn't surprise me. Propane produces a lot of water when burned. It seems like I recall a figure of around 4 liters per 100k of BTU's?looks like every forklift that comes to me for service. short trips and minimal runtime will do that. id change the oil , go for a burn on the highway providing the coolant level is good and just send it on down the road.
recommend a shorter interval to her would be the cure imo
I disagree that this milkyness wasn't caused by short tripping. I saw this in a Mercury Villager I owned a couple decades ago. Lots of short tripping in cold weather. The oil definitely had moisture whipped into a milky looking concoction. I posted a picture probably 20 years ago, but can't find it now. That was the first and last time I saw that much moisture in the oil.
C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O.That doesn't surprise me. Propane produces a lot of water when burned. It seems like I recall a figure of around 4 liters per 100k of BTU's?

why dont u just go on foot? It doesnt make any sense using the car for this extremely short distancesI do similar driving....very short drive to work.....

Looks like a head gasket or ceratec.....

I'm still not seeing the need for a car. Good clothing, decent footwear and some sunscreen maybe.-20c most of the year - - - - then we shoot to +30c

This was the correct, or correct enough, answer to the original post, Dishdude called it in seconds, but that didn’t stop calls for used oil analysis. Look at the drain pan picture and describe what information would come from a UOA? Also in the mix was serious entertainment of this being caused by short tripping. I don’t think that mileage was mentioned, but the situation is clear: massive coolant intrusion into oil in a 26 year old economy car. Better maintenance might have have prevented this. I love the idea of saving an old car, but it’s hard to make any economical sense of a head gasket change, engine swap, etc. Change the oil and keep driving, but it’s the end of the line, despite this discussion.That's not from short tripping, you have a bad headgasket.
