What do u do if you accidentally put oil in the radiator?

Go to car maintenance classes and then reverse flush your radiator(with water)What do u do if you accidentally put oil in the radiator?
When you get sober,








flush the cooling system and try again!





Actually though, a bit of oil probably won't damage anything, but it needs to come out of there.What do u do if you accidentally put oil in the radiator?
Hope?





Or flush it out?
Buy a new car and learn from your mistake...
flush it out real good.don't start it up.whatever you do.could damage something.
put the can down, step away from the vehicle.
The only thing you can do is flush it oil always sits on top of water so you need it out it may affect the cooling of your engine and do damage.
Kick the tire, curse a lot, punch something and then do a radiator flush.





Get a Chiltons (book) it'll tell you how to do the flush for your car.
Just drain it and buy a good radiator cleaner and run through it. Rinse it out real good and put new antifreeze in it and your good to go. It's not as big of deal that people on here are making of it and won't have any lasting effects on the engine.
If you put in a considerable amount of oil, I would not drive the car. I would drain the radiator now, without driving the car at all. Then I would have it towed to the mechanic, to flush out and refill the radiator with fresh anti freeze. That way, you won't have the tainted anti freeze flowing through your engine. .............It might be best if you simply leave the car where it is, then call a mechanic and get his advice about what you should do.
Flush the coolant system. Get a maintenance manual, it will tell you how to do it.
You mean after you pull your head out? You take the radiator off and have it professionally boiled out. Hopefully you didn't run the engine. If you did then have the entire cooling system professionally flushed and be sure you tell them what you did.
