I wouldn't take any chances. I would spend the money now and buy a new coolant refill tank. It's probably a hundred bucks or so but I don't want remnants of oil going into my radiator, water pump, hose, thermostat, etc. You'll ruin a lot of stuff.

I can one-up you on this mistake in other areas of life, like grilling with coals. you're not that bad.

I had 2 e90's you turd. All of my vehicles have been exceptionally maintained by me. i have never screwed up any kind of repair. what do you think it says about a person when they don't read the owners manual and just think ohh, if i can add oil into my radiator maybe it will go into the crankcase. Drive an S2k, its unlike any kind of honda you have ever driven.

Ah, I didn't get your point. Then we agree. My first assumption was he did do some DIY stuff since he was conscience enough to actually try to add oil to the engine and had a brain fart. What I suggested was not hard to do even for a novice. But you are correct; his later post indicates he has no business wrenching on the cooling system.

OP, you have some serious balls posting this thread, I would be willing to bet half the BS responses to your post wouldn't have the balls to do it.

And I don't disagree with you, an S2K is a great car. But the OP made a mistake and you chose to ream him for it. Its got nothing to do with a German vs Jap car. |
