If you had bad accumulation of oil in the cooling system, I would have gotten commercially available "bilge" cleaner (for boats) and used that instead of soap.
Filtered water but not distilled? Was prepared to do distilled as usual, but will do filters if that is preferred.

There was some oil residue from a small leak last year, and I imagine it will take a long time to clean it all out. But before the next flush I will try the bilge cleaner.
