Did you figure it out?
Im having the same problem with my van did you figure it out?
I have 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan 4.0 engine with 165,000 miles. Temperature gauge goes up and down while driving and stopping in traffic. I have had the the head gasket tested okey, replaced water pump, radiator, fan, houses, pipes, thermostat (twice), spark plugs. But the car still does the same thing. What else can be wrong with it? Thank you.

We still need to learn how to pick up oil. It is not as difficult as it may seem, you just need to study in detail the information about your car and engine. But of course, you need to think about choosing from several oil options, and the engine durability depends on it, among other things. That is why I recommend you to read the article about the best oil for 6.7 cummins https://carfluidsexpert.com/best-oil-for-cummins-6-7/ . I managed to learn a lot from here that I did not know before. I think it will be useful and you can learn a lot about the engine. Good luck, I hope it helped.

Drain half the water out of the radiator...add stop leak and drive slowly around and around the block until it is really hot (Blowing out the pressure cap)...drive home slowly and turn it off...wait 24 hours. Radiator cap must be on.
This is a slight intake leak or head gasket leak...water gets in the oil. Putting in stop leak and building up the radiator pressure guarantees the sealant and water goes out the leak and plugs it up. This happens to 318s at around 160,000 miles. I do this and then drive to 300,000 miles.....then I give the truck away.
Essentially, the high radiator pressure overcomes the oil pressure, stop leak and water goes out...leak plugs up.

what do you mean by blowing out the pressure cap…?
