Flush

You could Jet wash the header tanks to remove the visable residue but to be honest the best thing you can do for the rest of the system is just to flush out with water.
Basically push the hose pipe end onto different parts of the cooling system and run lots of water through it.
The oil itself won't cause the cooling system any problems infact when I worked on Mercedes Benz we would use a cap of retinax oil in the coolant to quiet down a squeeky water pump.
