New Holland skid steer

ivan in michigan · Sep 25, 2018

I have a L 553 skid steer and the head gasket started leaking oil in coolant so I replaced the gasket. I flushed the rad but had no way to flush the block while it was down. How is the best way to flush the oil out of the system. I has just a light coating on top of coolant now. Will it hurt anything to leave it in there. It is not black oil like before just an oil slick. Thanks

Back when I was working on a lot of old Cats and we had an oil cooler failure, Caterpillar recommended using Calgon. I don't even know if it is still available. Clean water and a couple of boxes, work it for half a day and drain it out would usually do the trick. I would think Dawn dish detergent would work well too.
