**** engine oil in radiator by mistake

Its not really that big of an issue, get out what you can(try to get most of it), fill it up with coolant and drive the car for a week.

Its not really that big of an issue, get out what you can(try to get most of it), fill it up with coolant and drive the car for a week. the rest of it will end up in the overflow resrvoir after the week and all you will have to do is pop the resrvoir off and clean out like it was a piece of Tupperware. trace amounts of oil wont hurt anything. easy way out is to just take it to get flushed in which case i would just get out as much as i could, fill it with coolant and just drive it to a local garage. Like DE said if you had put coolant in your oil that would be different (would mean changing the oil immediately and running a little diesel or kerosene in the oil for a little bit and then changing it again, still not the end of the world unless it was driven with the coolant in it).
