Hello,
I am the Tech manager at prestone coolants. You should replace the oil cooler first beofre the flush, otherwise you will still be getting oil in the coolant. Use Prestone HD flush or the V-9 from the Ford dealer, follow that with distilled water and powdered dishwashing detergent. It does an incredible job getting al traces of oil out of the system. Flush thoroughly with clean water. I recommend Prestone Red HD ELC coolant.
