I just bought an Si with a blown headgasket... it's bad... it spits unburned coolant out the tailpipe. It looks like it's mixed with the oil a little too, how can I clean it out? Should I just drain and refill the oil a couple of times? Should I use an oil additive detergent?

EDIT: After I change the headgasket...

Um, yeah. Oil is cheap, just drain and fill it.

Fix head gasket, change out your oil, your good.

 

I meant after I changed the head gasket. Should I change the oil a couple of times when I'm done to get all the crap out?

 

Change gasket, pour cheap walmart oil first with the passenger side of the car lifted and remove drain plug.
