I recently recieved my truck back from the Body Shop (after a pretty serious front end accident).
They had to replace the radiator, oil cooler, transmission cooler, condenser, fenders, hood, etc., and I think that some coolant might have contaminated the oil ... and I am looking for assistance.
I decided to check the fluids after driving for a short distance. The truck was driven about 60 miles when I checked the oil. I did not see any symptoms of water contamanation, but I decided to change the oil ... just to be safe.
So I drained the oil and while draining the first 1/4 cup, there was some clear water that came out first, but none of the oil had any milky emulsion in it. Comments?
Is their anything to add to the oil that would displace any other moisture that might be in the system?
I am also wondering about transmission? How well does transmission fluid prevent water damage in a transmission. I did not see any emulsion in the transmission fluid on dip stick. I know that water will destroy the friction material on the clutch's. Would something like WD40 or Marvels grab hold of the water.
I hate like hell to have to pull the pan. Your assistance is appreciated. ![[Cheers!]](/forums/graemlins/cheers.gif)
