no heat, temp. guage not reading, green tint yo oil

Was driving to and from jobs the other day when i noticed my heater was not blowing any heat. Looked down at temp. guage it was reading the same as start-up. Checked coolant at home it was just below add. Pulled dipstick out and it had a green tint to it. Neither antifreeze or oil was milky. Only have 110,000 miles on '01 HO. Any advice would be much appreciated

green tint. Left over from St. Patrick's day. All is well. Someone turned a river green, so why not oil.

Take a sample, send it to blackstone labs, or the like.

Did you feel the oil? Does it feel right? Smell right? Taste... no, just kidding.
