Oil in the coolant or visa versa is never good, you are not lucky as h-ll. Motor after running is not always caused by low octane, it can be a sign of tuning issues or more serious problems.
You probably have a blown head gasket, continuing to operate it in this condition is causing more problems. Do a compression test and see which cylinder(s) are low. Fix your motor and tune it correctly. Wire your fans using a relay triggered by the ignition switch and eliminate your fan troubles.
On a street driven car mechanical fans and water pump are always your best choice, any perceived horse power gains using electric is quickly overcome by the alternators added current load.
And then a newer model....
