I would of changed oil sooner but you could still send in a sample and see if its fuel diluted or has coolant in it with little cost.



That was 2-3 mins after start-up. ~100F?

I haven't heard the valvetrain or "slap" this loud ever since I've had the car.

So, how bad would the problem be if it has coolant in it?
