I agree 100% with this. If you get coolant in the oil you will have bearing failure because the coolant would not let the oil lubricate the bearings, the more coolant the more damage it creates.
If you dont have bearing failure you will have an engine that will fail faster than it would have if you didnt have the coolant issue.
