Heard simple green is sometimes used to clean the cooling system of a car like when there is oil in it from a blown head gasket.

Never thought of using it until just right now when one of the members here suggested it cz i recently got oil in my cooling system due to a blown head gasket.

Any idea which simple green to use. The all purpose one??
