Hola. Milky oil after headgasket replacement. My mechanic in Costa Rica says drive it for a week and then replace oil/filter. Seems to run fine, but I'm afraid of impending disaster. Any advise gratefully accepted.

Hola Fincero;
If it was my truck I'd change the oil and filter right away, and keep a close eye on it, at least you'll have a baseline to start from. Nice truck
 
Thanks!

I appreciate your speedy response. Forgot to mention it's a diesel 6. My mechanic said it's a un hache; a 1H.
 
Oil and filter changes are inexpensive when you consider the alternatives, if you see the oil becoming contaminated again, bring it back to your mechanic.
Good luck
 
I would not recommend running contaminated oil. Best to change it out right away, and keep a close eye on it.
