Be carefull what you use for "Detergent", it should be non foaming. A
few tablespoons of TSP in fresh water will do the deed. Drive about 20
miles for max cleaning and flush it out. Follow by citric acid cleaning.

The heater will keep it from freezing 'til your next session.

You don't want bubbles. Automatic dishwasher detergent will degrease

You don't want grit, either. Washing machine soap of some sort

If oil is leaking into the coolant passages then I'd clean afterwards. If
coolant is leaking into oil then I don't think it matters. Not sure what to
degrease it with. Dawn? Of course you might also want to perform the citric
