Hey all.. have a 1995 neon, ATX. About 2 months ago, my headgasket went. I used a product called K&W nantechnology..its suposed too fill in the bad areas, not just cover it up. works really good! Well, for about a wek, i had driven the car, and on 16 miles trips, to and from work, was burning about half a gallon of coolant. 3 spark plugs had red residue on them, and the 4th cylinder was squeeky clean.
Thier was and is no coolant visable in the oil, at least on the dipstick. But obviously, coolant was burning through the combustion chamber rather quickly..Im using quaker state synthetic, 10w30, the old stock stuff before it was re badged. I am getting the headgasket job next week... but wanted to know..since im aking to do an oil change: P would it be advisable or necessary right now to change out the oil, even though it runs fine and theirs no milksahke or coolant in it? or coould i jsut go ahead and run it till next oil change?
