Telling you how to clean the oil out is assuming the reason the oil is in the coolant has been rectified first, right? I have had to get residual oil out of cooling systems and I use an ounce or two of concentrated floor cleaner or some non-foaming detergent, just enough to grab the oil, flush it and see what ya got.
