dishwasher tablets get stuff really clean,   washing up liquid works well as well

TFR - Traffic Film Remover is the stuff you need to get all traces of oil out of a coolant system.

Stick it in neat and let it run and then flush. You should only need to do it once and there will be 0 trace of oil left in there.

Works a treat.

You've then got to flush all traces of tfr out though, as that's powerful sh!t!!I'd just run water through it,and flush and refill with water,run again,flush again etc, and repeat until it empties clean, then refill with coolant.
