HELP! Poured oil into radiator
as title says i just poured oil into my radiator before i left work to my house. I flushed it out with antifreeze and water and only filled the radiator about a quarter to halfway before driving to my house which is about a mile or so away. Should i just flush with hot water? Please give me some help i just bought this rx7 yesterday

How much oil did you pour in the rad?
|
a little less than a quart i believe but i flushed it out decently before bringing it home
|
i flushed it out right now with some boiling water. should i buy something to run through the system to help clean it out or keep flushing with hot water
|
Not sure what cleaner/solvent you could use.
Anything good at dissolving oil is going to be tough on the internal water seals and external hoses. Maybe something relatively benign like Simple Green, but I'm not sure. |
prestone rad flush.

I know old timers used to put oil in the antifreeze years ago and it didn't hurt a thing
