2003 Chevy malibu

My car is overheating, recently replaced thermostat, water pump, radiator but was still overheating. It started smoking out of the tailpipe so I used blue devil and that worked for about 2 weeks. Started overheating again so this time I used crc fiberlock wich has not worked yet. I have changed my oil numerous times because it looked like chocolate milk from the water. Now, I changed the oil last night and drove to town when I got home looked like chocolate milk again. This morning I checked the oil and the oil looks new now? It didn't overheat last night, but I am getting no power, like barely making it down the road? HELP PLEASE

Those temporary band-aids are no substitute for a proper repair. Sometimes they work for a while. Many times they do not.

If you've been driving it around in that condition for any length of time the damage is done. Coolant in the oil damages bearings and other internal engine parts.

At this point you probably need to replace the engine, or more likely just get another car.


Ok ty


Wish it was better news but from your description unfortunately it sounds like it's done.
