Can a broken thermostat lead to coolant in the oil?
If a thermostat goes bad that in and of itself can’t cause coolant to get into your oil, and if you have a car that is otherwise working fine and has never overheated than the thermostat isn’t going to let oil get into your engine. HOWEVER, if the thermostat gets stuck closed that can cause the engine to overheat.
