It could take up to or more than three oil changes to get ride of say 80% of the water/anti freeze and multiple flushes of the cooling system to ride it of oil traces as well. Can you pressure test the cooling side of the system?

beg, borrow, rent, or steal a cooling system pressure tester.

This tells you if there are exhaust gasses in the coolant (turns yellow).
