I'm not a mechanic / technician but I believe if antifreeze is getting into the
engine oil it is because of a bad head gasket , or perhaps the head has warped
No. Antifreeze should not mix with engine oil in any vehicle.
You have a mess.
NO!!!! do not do this, oil is oil, transmission fluid is transmission fluid, and antifreeze is antifreeze, do not mix any of these, it can perminately damage your engine.
cracked or warped head/blown head gasket.
It will destroy the engine from lack of lubrication and overheating.
You can't "mix colors to get antifreeze."
You can fix oil that is getting mixed with antifreeze in a Ford Econoline 250 of the year '98 by replacing the head gasket in the vehicle. A blown head gasket will cause the antifreeze and oil to mix.
Oil/antifreeze mix is usually caused by head gasket leaks or valve cover gasket leaks.
That means that there is engine coolant / antifreeze leaking into the engine and mixing with the engine oil. You must have an 1997---2000 modal V-8 or V-6 engine. It is very common for the intake gasket to leak coolant into the engine oil on those engines. Are you sure it did not freeze and crack the engine block ?? If you know that it had enough antifreeze in it not to freeze, Then you may get lucky and flush the engine oil and replace the oil filter several times AFTER you replace the intake gasket. OIL and ANTIFREEZE don't mix well and the antifreeze will destroy the engine BEARINGS.
Make sure you use the red stuff as the green antifreeze tends to rot the oil cooler and causes other problems too. Do not mix them either.
you can mix water with anything
no but antifreeze in oil will eat the bearings
