Some other cases though:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3Q4FBKrNYY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGM9EhQn4tg and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj5Kn8IyiC8 Perhaps these ones are jokes; I am suspicious but I don't know for sure. He says it's not a joke at https://www.youtube.com/user/MrJooksing/videos and test showed no coolant in the oil but he did leave the same oil in for 8 years in a place that gets sub-zero F temperatures.

Apparently thats what happens when coolant get mixed with oil, But it would have to sit for a while. so scrapyard engine story ads up - except surely you would check the oid before installing in the car

That jelly looking stuff is way to clean and uniform. When it's pulled away from the engine the underlying metal is spotless.
No way that is simply sump oil sitting around for ages!

Hmm seems a bit suss to me ive seen water in engine oil a few times and it does'nt do this the engine oil just turns nearly white.
Drain, change filter and flush a few times with cheap oil, then fit good oiil when most of water is removed. |

Looks more like someone has put a bit too much additive of some sort to stop oil leaks.
The oil has then congealed.
