What to do about oil in radiator?

i had my oil changed and full service at wal-mart. some how they put oil in my radiator reservoir instead of antifreeze.now my car is in the shop and all the hoses are busting due to the oil.my water pump will probably need to be replaced also.it's bad. How can i get wal-mart to own up to their mistake and pay to get my car fixed??

I hope Wal Mart idiots are the sum of your problem. Oil in the radiator is usually caused by a bad head gasket, which can also add pressure to the cooling system and cause hoses to burst. Take your car to a real mechanic, get your cylinders pressure tested to rule out head gasket. If your head gasket is bad, you owe Wal-Mart an apology. If it's not, they owe you whatever it costs to fix their mistake but good luck proving it.



Assuming somebody did make a mistake like that, you probably need to talk to the guys that actually worked on your car. Odds are good they don't work there anymore, if you can find them they'll probably be happy to talk. They'll be your key witnesses when you sue. Also, if you file suit against Wal Mart, your lawyer can subpoena their security tapes. Act quickly, before they tape back over them. Very likely you'll be able to see who did what to your car.
not likely anyone would add oil to a radiator unless they did it on purpose but you would have to prove they did it and most likely that would be impossible so if you dont have a blown head gasket all one need to do is drain and flush radiator out wouldnt have anything to do with hoses busting or a bad water pump and water pump is not bad unless it leaks and most of time when you blow a hose its because it old or it just blows and most of time when one has oil in radiator its because you have a blown head gasket which is most likey why you blowing hoses not what they did at wal marts which is not really a ghood place to get anything done at
You'll have to have two things to get any money from Wally Mart:



1. Evidence that they did it.



2. A lawyer.
good luck with the headgasket
HI

First off oil in the radiator well not bust your hoses or the water pump. In fact there is a little bit of oil in antifreeze to lubricate the water pump. They don't allow antifreeze to be used on race tracks because of the slickness of antifreeze when it get spilled on the track.. Was you coolant just rusty or did it look like chocolate milk? if it looked like chocolate milk you may have a bad head gasket or intake gasket that's how oil gets into the cooling system. Also check you oil for coolant it would look the same like chocolate milk thats a sign of bad head gaskets.

good luck
