We use liquid dishwashing detergent. Low suds and works well.

Wow, flashback to my auto recycling days:

Not uncommon to have oil & coolant mixed in 8-318, 8-360 and 8-400 Mopar engines; the aluminum timing cover typically eaten away allowing them to mix. Clean the engine then put a good cover on with new gasket and run it to get compression check to confirm it can be sold.
