Flushing the cooling system

Back in my hot rod days, we used to use Arm & Hammer "Washing Soda" to clean out the radiators in the old cars we would get. It was the only stuff that would clean out the cooling system with any effectiveness. Dissolve it in a bucket of hot water and pour it in. Run it for a while to get it circulated throughout the system and then flush with clean water at least two times.
After reading all the posts on this thread, I wonder if someone may have inadvertantly poured oil in to the wrong filler cap since they are right next to each other.
