Coolant poured into oil filler... disaster?
Discussion
Hello all
mother in law just called me, she was doing her usual checks on her car and topping up the fluids and accidentally mixed up the bottles. Car is a petrol engine'd i30.
She said she stopped almost immediately and put no more than a shot glass worth of coolant into the oil filler. She hasn't started the engine.
I have a 2 post ramp in my garage and can go buy oil and a filter right now. She has a sloped drive which isn't the safest to work on. Can she drive it the circa 4 miles to our place so i can do it at my convenience or is that a massive no-no?
