I just changed the head gaskets in my car I put the car back together and and the oil. I checked the oil after running it for a while and it was milky. I decided to change the oild again because I was told to change it a couple of times. When I pulled off the filter there was NO SIGN of oil. Can anyone PLEASE help me and tell me WHY?

the car model is a 1993 oldsmobile Achiva, I don't know much about the car I bought it from a guy and he said what he thought was wrong.

Make certain that the oil "galleries" are clear of sludge! Refill the oil,leave the filter off,and "bump" the engine over.Don't start it,just bump it over. You should get a lot of oil from the filter port! You'll need a catch basin or bucket. If no oil and no sludge present,you'll need to check oil pump pressure. :-)=

Any mechanic that can fix a warped head should be able to fix
a no oil flow problem. It sounds to me like the guy that sold you
the car wasnt changing the oil or put some crap in it to stop
leaking and stopped it up instead.

What type of car? And in what position is the oil filter? Some do drain back and won't loose any oil when you change them. Or your blown head gasket has lead to other problems.. More info please

do it over again. this time have the head leveled or re-surfaced it's warped or cracked, a good machine shop will pressure test it also.
