Hopefully you haven't started the engine so if you drain the oil and antifreeze out of
the oil pan and then take some new oil and pour it in the oil fill 2 or 3 times and let it
drain out each time , then replace the oil pan drain plug and refill the oil to the correct
level ( don't forget it will take less oil because the oil filter is still full ) it should be O.K.
( P.S. I'm not a mechanic / technician but that's what we did on a neighbors vehicle
when he accidentily did the same thing , fortunately he realized what had happened
and he didn't start the engine so the antifreeze and engine oil didn't mix )
