Make sure system is well bled of air. Open radiator cap and start engine. Run until hot and thermostat is open (coolant flowing in radiator. Keep radiator full and also open any bleeder ports on thermostat housing or in hoses until no air comes out.

Nissan Maxima. Can a water pump or thermostat cause mixing oil and water?

Question edited for clarity.

No to both. The water pump is chain driven and takes water from one side and pumps it out under pressure from the other. The thermostat is fully enclosed in a housing with no access to oil.

Oil in Coolant only comes from a failed head gasket where the oil and water channels are in close proximity and under combustion pressure of hundreds of pounds.

Water pumps are designed to pump water through the engine, radiator, and heating system. Water pumps will not cause oil to enter the cooling system.Oct 4, 2016

1990 nissan maxima. have replaced thermostat, but cant get any heat, or defrost. flushed out core.and replaced all fluids.

Check the hoses to the inside heater core for kinks. Check heater (not radiator) core for being plugged. Check heater valve to see if it lets coolant through when turned on.

My 1996 Nissan Maxima only overheats when on incline but I can turn the heat on & it cools down immediately.

Could be the radiator fan. Running the heater adds a second source of getting rid of heat in the coolant. Is the radiator fan running when it is hot ? Are you sure the cooling system is full ?

check your thermostat and possibly your cooling fans and temp sensor for the fans

My nissan max continues to over heat. i replaced the radiator. but the mechanic did not replace the thermostat properly. do you think the over heating is due to needing a new thermostat?

not at all times can thermostat contol your cooling system, check for water leaks, water pump, radiator fans(check for speed) if all your cooling systems are good , replace your cylinder head gasket,
