**** engine oil in radiator by mistake

Clam yo tits everyone. Yes OP is a dumbass, but this is not a huge deal. Drain, flush (several times well), and fill your radiator. Here's a semi DIY.

I would also say, do it your damn self, cause a shop is just gunna do a drain, quick flush, and fill. Not the thorough flush that you want. However, you ARE the one that put oil in the radiator in the first place, so herein lies our conundrum.

I would also be worried about all of your hoses that have coolant running through them. They may swell due to coming into contact with oil once you start doing a thorough flush to get the oil out when the car is running and circulating coolant through the system.

At the Ford dealership that I work at, diesel fuel got mixed in with a 6.0's coolant. We had to do a thorough flush like others have mentioned. We had to also replace all hoses that have coolant going through them and the thermostat as well. The coolant hoses swelled up like a mofo. Something to think about.
