Removed it today and there's oil in there, do I need to wash it out or not? If so what's the best way of doing it?

used water and fairy ..

left it on radiator to dry out proper..

but more ideal to use some form or cleaner .

I used some citrus degreaser on mine. Can get it from your local bike shop.

I ended up getting 2 litres of petrol and flushing it through, carnt believe how much crap came out, this must of made a tone of difference to the cooling performance.
