Coolant in Oil???

[Radiation Joe]

I received two Blackstone used oil analyses back indicating coolant in my oil. I'm assuming a head gasket on its way out. Are there alternative explanations? Can anyone quantify the amount of coolant from this report? The oil looks fine coming out of the sump. Not a trace of milky-ness.

It’s certainly something to keep an eye on, most likely the head gasket.. what year and how many miles?

Allentown! Your less then an hour from me! Willow Grove Area!

It's a 2017 Ecoboost with about 60k miles. The car has a Ford Performance tune but is usually driven like a hypermiler Prius.
I'm not sure if the oil cooler is oil to air or oil to water. If the latter, then the cooler could be the culprit. I guess I'll check the coolant, also.

It’s something to keep and eye on and find out where the coolant is coming from.

Does your car have the oil/water cooler like GTs? Not sure if EB PPs got that, but if you have it that may also be a source of contamination.

I have my first oil change coming next Saturday and a sample will be going to Blackstone. I already have the Sample kits from them. They send them for free with mailing labels for free shipping attached. What is $30 to see what’s in the oil? Nothing.
