David.

It’s not clear to me what problem they are trying to solve?

The milky oil is from the coolant. The coolant inadvertently went into the crankcase. Coolant in the oil is potentially bad for the engine.

I’m with the story this far.

It’s the next part … you have high cholesterol and we couldn’t get rid of it completely and that can lead to bad things … so let’s do a heart transplant … this is the part that I’m not entirely getting.

Doesn’t one typically wait for the catastrophic engine failure to actually happen before replacing the engine?

Is there some other problem related to the *initial* problem you had that indicates a catastrophic failure?

If not then just do repeated oil swaps every few hundred miles … use cheap oil and filters, consider adding some seafoam — used for gas and may help remove a bit of water/coolant from the oil, couldn’t hurt but there is so little isopropyl in it that it’s likely just a placebo.

This is not the first time a crankcase has been contaminated with coolant … it’s head gasket 101 … and I was always taught just do some repeated, short interval, cheap oil changes.
