Question
I was told that the lower intake manifold gasket needs replacing.The mileage is 59,560.When i was reading the Sunday free press in the usa section there was an article saying there is a class action suit against dex cool.With a lower intake manifold gasket problem,does it loose coolant or oil?I keepup with regular 3500 mile oil changes.Can this problem cause other engine problems?
Thanks for any advice,Edward

Answer
if coolant floods you oil system and you continue driving it..
it could ruin yout main and rod bearings.
it sounds like you should be ok if you did such frequent oil changes..
not to worry.
good luck..RC
