Is it normal for oil to look like chocolate milk?
It still feels 'oily' & definitely doesn't taste like chocolate milk.
This mechanic stuff is EZ-PZ.

Are you sure that's not a bed pan?

It's possible. Cooling system has a pressure leak that I thought was the heater core, because it was leaking coolant into the passenger compartment under the floor mat.
If it's both, I'm fucked. I was just going to bypass the heater core & wear a coat, but a blown head gasket is fatal. Thaint no way I'm paying a pro to do that, and thaint no way I could fix it myself.

Looks like the accumulated affects of a blown gascaullar dome piece. Otherwise known as a head gasket.Is it normal for oil to look like chocolate milk?

Sounds like you're having issues with a tranny. I'd be more cautious of what/who you're choosing to pick up and employ.

The head gasket is pressed between the engine block and cylinder head(s) to achieve a water- and air-tight seal. Its main job is to seal against combustion pressure on the cylinder so oil and coolant can properly flow between the block and head without leaking into the combustion chamber or mixing with each other......Would it be possible to wrap the engine in a giant condom and call it good?

You were close, but you don't got the answers.

This is one of the easiest problems to fix, you simply have to force them in. Aim for an age group that you can easily out muscle.

I bought a new truck on May 30th.
I just hit 1000 miles today on Sept. 6th
Am I driving it enough to keep it in good mechanical shape?
My bicycle does get better gas mileage.

whats 'M' on the gear shift..?
Fake Manual: alot of newer cars have them. Mine does but never used it: "The "M" or Manual shift lever position can be used to step the transmission up or down through # pre-programmed gears manually. When you shift from "D" (Drive) to "M" (Manual), the shift indicator in the instrument panel will indicate the current gear

That's a Texas car. It means "mosey". For when "drive" isn't enough.

He's a Russian, his subtle way of intel-gathering; check above on the transmission question. Next year or so all Russian cars will have it and they'll claim they invented it

It is virtually useless. 6 speed auto and you'd never need to manually run 4 5 and 6 in manual.
It should have been a 3 for third, I could see using that going down a grade at 40-45ish MPH in the winter.
