I got this recommendation from a fellow p-car friend:
"I heard a Porsche and Mercedes mechanic reccomend Shout spot laundry
detergent. I did 2 full cycles of that (1/2 bottle each) then 3 full
cycles
of H2O only and it cleared up my NA after a oil cooler seal change."
This is an upcoming project for me, I guess...does the NA have a "batwing" also?

my method:
take off colant resevoir cap
go under car, unscrew blue radiator screw.
hold up drain pan at front of oil pan, angled downward with other hand
catch
follow coolant flow with drain pan
works every time, never spilled a drop.

It works great.
