    May be best to run it over to a shop to have them do a coolant flush. I think they do it under pressure so it all can come out.

    edited because you want an engine flush, not radiator flush...

    you can buy engine flush at an autoparts store.

    or, add some marvel mystery oil or auto trans fluid to the oil, run for a while, then change it.

    or, go to a repair shop that offers it.
    You're right - I have no idea what I'm talking about...

    seafoam is inside your motor, nowhere close to oil.

    It is if you pour it in the oil right? I've added it to my oil before. I was just wondering if it would fit the job.
