I sucked the oil out through the dip stick (with a air pump out machine) and pulled out 6 QTs,,,, i only added 3QTS when i realized it was low so my understanding is it only lost 3 qts i do not know , i still have milkey oil just a little , ,

I am no expert on engines, but wouldnt that mean that your head gasket is bad? Water from the cooling jacket is getting into your oil system and overflowing it. Somone with more knowledge should probably be able to explain better.
