Is it safe to drive your car if you accidentally put coolant in your oil?

Absoulutly not. If you have not started the engine, drain all the oil out and let it sit for at least an hour with the drain plug removed. Refill with oil and you will be ok. If you started the engine then also change the filter. A: I would also take it to a service shop asap. This all depends on how much coolant you added to the oil and the size and type of engine.

How does coolant work?

Engine coolant is what I'm assuming you are talking about. Engine coolant is a mix of water and etholyn glycol (antifreeze). It pulls heat away from your engine block that builds up from the friction of moving parts. The coolant mix allows the coolant to get cold to a point and not freeze because of the etholyn glycol. It is also not good to put straight antifreeze into your engine because antifreeze does not have as much cooling potential as water antifreeze mix. Also if you have just antifreeze in your engine the antifreeze will boil at a much lower temperature than a mix of aproxamalty 50/50.


What engine problems can occur if engine coolant leaks onto engine during thermostat repair?

If coolant leaks onto an engine it will cause no damage unless it leaks onto the alternator or into a wire harness connector of some sort. It is best to clean up leaked coolant as much as possible. It will smell a little when the motor is started. Leaked coolant on the ground is a danger to animals and children as it has a sweet smell but is very toxic.
