Hello, water still mixes with the oil in my car. Even after changing the gasket. Any other solutions will be helpful. Thanks

Good afternoon,
Who determined the head gasket was the failure and how did they determine that?
A more common issue is the oil cooler which uses coolant to cool the oil. It is a common issue for mixtures of coolant.

Hi, the mechanic who fixed it determined that. It did not solve the problem. Any other remedies?

As I stated in my first response, the oil cooler is more common than the head gasket.

Did anyone test the cooler? That would be my next step.

I would agree, the oil cooler attached to the oil block is leaking. Have seen techs misdiagnose for a headgasket.
