Coolant flush

D6c10K ยท 2012-12-19 12:39

I've got a D6c has gotten a little oil in the coolant from a leaking trans oil cooler. After I replace the cooler what works best to remove oil from cooling system. Looked at Cat coolant flush, but it seems to be more for removing scale. I've got a pretty new rad core so I shouldn't need that....just need a degreaser. Any good products out there or should I just run some Dawn detergent through it?

    There is a non sudsing detergent I think Cascade dishwasher soap, somebody here will know for sure, been a while. I would hold off on the Dawn.
