I think you are right to try to clean the contaminated cooling system. My suggestion would be 1) drain the coolant and flush with tap water. Then drain it again and use some fresh antifreeze (anything is OK here, use the green stuff just to get rid of it!) and add a bottle of Prestone Superflush. The antifreeze will help as a solvent for trace oil, but the Superflush will do most of the cleaning. It is very mild, no need to worry about cooling system components. Follow directions and make sure to run the engine 15 minutes AFTER it gets good and hot. Flush the cleaner out when you're done, make sure it is all flushed out. For the final fill, I suggest the using an extended life antifreeze (orange), but MB coolant if also fine if you have been using that.
BTW, flushing is a lot easier if you install a flush tee with cap on the outlet (lower) heater hose.
