I would NOT put anything in the cooling system that's not specifically made for cooling systems. Especially not dishwashing something. Have you put aluminum in your dishwasher? The detergent heavily oxidize aluminum, not something I'd want to do to my internal parts, especially around heads and gaskets and such.
Small amounts of oil aren't really going to hurt anything, and I bet if you clean out the tank every 6 months it will get less and less. That was my plan, until I decided I wanted a new truck anyway. Haha. FYI, if you remove the tank, cleaning it with gasoline will do a great job.
Keep us posted on your adventures.

Unfortunatley, its a 2014 and out of warranty. Good advise on the not using the dishwashing powder. Guess I shouldn't believe everything I read on YouTube. I'll stick with the Blue Devil Coolant Flush & Degreaser for ever how many flush cycles I need for things to run clear.
