It works well. You might look into an oil skimmer remove the Tramp oil.

as suggested by Rumplestiltskin, a way oil rated ISO 68 usually will work great.
A skimmer is also a great idea. Alternatively, you can use a wet shop vac to suck the tramp oil layer off the top of the coolant. hold the end of the vacuum hose at about a 15° to 20° angle and about 1/2" to 3/4" above the surface.
