Hi all just wondering what to use to flush the cooling system as my oil cooler has failed and leaked into the cooling system I'm in the process of replacing it and just wondering what to use to clean the oil out of it.

Liquid dishwasher fluid is also good to flush cooling system, might be cheaper

That's what i used in mine and can't complain: https://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/radiator-cleaner-cooling-system-flush-300ml-liqui-moly-1804/ , i can tell even that the cooling improved a bit after that

any detergent works .long it it doesn't sit for to long ..any thing from dish washing tablets to truck wash
..
lets hope the oil disnt sit there for to long ..if so you will notice hoses perish one after the other the worst one to replace is the heater behind the dash
