Whats the best way of flushing all of the mayo out of my oil system?
Thankfully the water ways are all clean its just the oil but its still gonna be a pain to remove by the look of it.

I don't know the technical answer but I think its a case of using engine flush, filling with cheap oil and doing this a couple of times at short intervals and without thrashing the car in between.
(Someone will probably come in and tell us that Heinz make something to do the job and you can buy it at Tescos!)

Hi Adam..

Drain the oil leave the sump bung out remove the rocker cover and with a brush and (red)diesel wash the rocker/cam box, replace sump bung, change the oil filter and fill with cheap oil, drive 10-20 miles, change oil/filter..

SORTED...
