Sounds like you pretty much cleaned it up. I can't imagine a little oil is going to make any significant difference.

Just one more question you never answered:

No she really did. She checked the dip stic and thought it was low and though that she would help out, but instead made my weekend a little more productive.

I would run with a little dawn in the coolant for awhile. It will take the surface tension off the water and help circulate much better to keep on cleaning the system.

You could use water wetter if you want to spend some more money...

glad it worked out

That is a good idea, I may run the dawn in the coolant just to keep the oil from settling.
