[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 14764907, member: 121775"] Why was this guy messing around with your radiator if you only took the car in for an oil and filter replacement? Could he have inadvertently (or intentionally) poured a little oil in the coolant reservoir? Is the oil cooler an oil-to-water type radiator that shares the engine coolant? (I thought it was an oil-to-air cooler.) I think the second shop is on the right troubleshooting track for now. Drive the car for a couple more days and keep an eye on the coolant to see if it continues to get worse. You had a pressure test done on the oil cooler that came back good, so it doesn't seem like there is a leak in it. (Did they bench test the cooler or did they do it while it was still on the car?) It might take even a third flush to clear the system, depending on how much oil was introduced into it and the strength of the flushing agent. So long as you don't have coolant getting into your oil, your car should be okay for a while. Just check the engine oil daily to make sure it's still okay. [/QUOTE]
