Default Flush oil from coolant system

Don't Ask! It was about 5AM and both bottles looked the same. Anyway I took the expansion tank off and drained it but I need to drain and flush the whole system. Whats the best way to cut the oil and flush it out?

A bottle of castrol "super clean" or similar cleaner/degreaser should do the trick. Just make sure to flush the system good with water before refilling.
