Draw the oil off the top, the anti-freeze will settle to the bottom.

If you have a good way of separating water, just add a bunch more and stir. This should form two layers with standing and be easy to remove.

Test it out with a small quantity first.

Chemistry tells me this is right, not any actual experience with used motor oil mixed with antifreeze.

it'll settle out to the bottom. One of the idiots that works for me dumped antifreeze into my wmo/watf container. I waited a few days and could see a seperation in the two so i sucked off the top till i got within a few inches of the antifreeze and dumped the rest.
