Yep, I have used it in a couple vehicles when they got oil in them. You
don't need to use a lot. I usually pull the thermostat and then let it
circulate with the cap off. As the oil comes free and floats it comes
out of the neck of the radiator (or fill location). I use SG because it
doesn't create a lot of suds and cuts grease/oil very well.
