Check the oil filler cap for mayonaise. It may mean that your head gasket has gone, Go to a local garage and ask them to do a presure test on each cylinder to see if it fails on one. Have you checked the plugs for cleanness and oil contamination? that's where your problems sounds where it lies.
SOURCE: Radiator removal
Hello jkaxley: My name is Roger and I will answer your question. It is not difficult to change out the radiator. You will need a 10 mm. ans a 13 mm. socket. You will also need tools to remove the oil cooler and the transmission cooler lines. Remove the top half of the radiator fan shroud. Remove the top radiator brackets holding the radiator in. Lean the radiator in to gain access to the oil and transmission lines disconnect the lines. Remove the radiator. Reveres the procedure to reinstall the radiator. Be sure to drain the radiator before you start to do the work. Always catch the coolant as it is fatal to animals when they drink anti freeze.
Should you need further help please just ask. Please rare the answer you received. This way we can tell the answer you received helped. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

SOURCE: How many gallons of antifreeze goes into my
If you are draining your radiator, or just need to add some, there are a couple of options. You can either buy antifreeze in a 50/50 premixed solution, or purchase one gallon of antifreeze and 1 gallon of distilled water (less than $1.00 at your local grocery store) and mix equaly in another container that way you have a proper mixture in your radiator. The 50/50 mixture comes in an orange color and the full strength comes in the traditional green color.

if you have air conditioning the capacity of your radiator is 24.8 quarts, without A/C it is 27.5. For maximum protection a 50% antifreeze to water is recommended. This of course depends on where you live or plan to drive.
