Coolant in the oil

[Brad the Trucker]

Hey everybody! I've got a 2014, EcoDiesel. I'm doing oil samples. Just got my latest sample back. It was flagging, coolant in the oil. Reading was 0.05. Don't know much about what these numbers mean. I know it needs to be found and fixed. Right now I'm waiting patiently for FCA to include me in the extended warranty. Can I safely run this, or am I looking for big trouble? Thanks.

I got that. Can I run till FCA gets me the ext warranty? Maybe a couple of weeks?
