Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions:
• Overheating
• Coolant overflowing from reservoir
• Oil contamination in coolant
Cause
This condition may be caused by engine oil mixing into the coolant from the main oil
gallery to a water jacket through block porosity or thin wall-casting or from the oil cooler
into the radiator.
⇒ The average oil pressure is over 414 kPa (60 psi) and the coolant pressure
is 110 kPa (16 psi).
If you encounter a vehicle with this concern, validation on where the oil contamination is
emitting from is required before replacing components:
Information
⇒ If equipped, test the oil cooler system for possible leaking into the coolant
through the radiator.
– If the oil cooler tests good or the vehicle is Not equipped with an oil cooler, then
reference this bulletin and replace the engine as well as all the rubber coolant hoses.
Flush the radiator and heater core if possible or replace hoses as needed.
Also if equipped, flush the rear heater core and replace hoses as needed.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these
technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper
service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a
job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your
vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the
information.
