I did a really stupid thing:
I removed my intake manifold without adequately draining the coolant. Got about 3 oz of coolant in each cylinder.
I've finished my repairs, and have turned the engine over by hand to allow the coolant to drain into the sump (verified by my borescope in the sparkplug holes). I have not yet run the engine.
My question is, is my oil ruined by the coolant? (It's Prestone 'All Makes - All Models" if that makes a difference.) It's only 400 miles old, Mobil 1.
I'll be draining the sump as I wait for a reply.
