I bought Prestone's 32oz "Radiator Flush & Oil Degreaser." The oil in the coolant will have gobbed up the water pump, the radiator fins, and various spots throughout the system. Such oil will obviously undermine cooling ability. So, if I want to maximaize my chances of running cool air from the fan in the summer, or at least not blasting the heat, I need the rad to work at maximum potential. This Prestone product is supposed to be heavy duty. I only bought it because it was the toughest looking thing in the O'Reilly I dropped into. I won't know how well it works for a while. But with the flushing and the ducting, so far, it looks pretty good. I seem to be keeping better, lower coolant temps--probably 3-5 degrees lower.
Here is the Prestone product:
