I did something pretty stupid. I buy synthetic oil for my car in gallon containers. I went to add anti-freeze to my car and accidentally put oil in the radiator. It was less than 1/2 a quart. Should I immediately drain and refill the radiator or will it not hurt things?

Hi
Can't see any harm for that small amount. Probably the viscosity are simiilar to ethylglicol which is oil base.
So you maybe on to something probably make coolant flow faster.
Thanks for donate
