Hey i know that im suppose to search before i ask but i thought that postin this would be much more simple.

alright i just got my 89 mx6 LX this weekend. I changed tho oil to find that it was a really creamy coffee color. Wut does this possibly meen is wrong with the car. I get power to the car and changed the spark plugs but i simply cant get the car to turn over. If anyone has any imformation on what to do with this it would be most credited. I was also wondering if anyone has a parts car because b4 i bought this mx6 the people trashed it. I need a pcv valve and just odds and ends. Thanks for the help.

Usually the creamy oil means that there is a mix of oil with coolant. <- Possibly they blew headgasket. Do a compression check, but I almost guarantee you have a bad headgasket.
