Car dealerships and garages regularly encounter vehicles where oil has spilled into the coolant. This is often a result of a broken head gasket, a leaking oil cooler or, in rare cases, a crack in the engine block. The consequences can be serious: overheating, reduced engine performance and damage to the cooling system as oil deposits in pipes and radiators. The longer a vehicle goes on with this, the greater the likelihood of costly repairs and permanent engine damage.
But besides the technical impact, there is another problem: waste management.

No, companies are required to have this collected by an approved collector.
Yes, oil can get into the coolant due to a defect in the engine. The most common causes are a broken head gasket, a leaking oil cooler or a crack in the engine block or cylinder head. This causes engine oil to mix with the coolant, which is harmful to the engine and cooling system.
If engine oil gets into the coolant, the coolant loses its effectiveness and the cooling system can become clogged with oil deposits. This can lead to overheating, accelerated wear of engine components and possibly permanent engine damage. In addition, disposing of the contaminated coolant becomes more complex because it is now considered hazardous waste.
Brown coolant can indicate several problems. It could mean that oil has entered the cooling system due to a faulty head gasket or oil cooler. Another possible cause is corrosion and rust in the cooling system, especially if old or improper coolant has been used. In either case, it is important to identify the cause, flush the system and replace the contaminated coolant.
We comply with all Dutch and European environmental requirements, including VIHB registration.
