How much oil was put in ? and if you can find out exactly where you put it , would help.

if you put oil in cooling system then you need to drain cooling syaytem and flush the system with degreaser/detergent and refill with coolant,if the oil stays in cooling sysytem it will cause the pipes to swell/detiriate
