Same Problem after head gasket replacement...

Personally I would stay away from BAR'S, but that's me. It could be that your radiator has an internal leak allowing coolant to mix with oil internally....so same problem you had before is happening all over again if that's the case. Like was mentioned earlier, keep an eye out for coolant loss and don't drive it to much if you see it.

Thanks for the advice MIJ, I'll keep these things in mind.

Same problem with my wife's 1998 S70 Turbo, B5254T motor, 158K miles. Bubbling in expansion tank and continuing overheating problem after radiator broke and had to be replaced. No water or "mayonnaise" in the oil (and no oil in the coolant) but it's using coolant, and engine stumbles for a second on starting. Testing indicates carbon monoxide in the antifreeze, so likely head gasket/cracked head due to the overheating. No money for a while to pull the head, so am trying DuraSeal. Pricey. Hope it works. Will advise.

At least I have an 18-year old Ford truck with 200K on it. So I can drive something reliable to the store to buy beer...... Gee whiz....
