I'm not a mechanic / technician but what I would do is :
*** first , don't start the engine *** if you do that the coolant will be in your oil filter etcetera
- remove the oil pan drain plug and let the oil drain out until it stops dripping
( or almost )
- while the drain plug is out of the oil pan add a little bit of new engine oil to the engine and let it drain out ( I would do that two or three times )
- reinstall the oil pan drain plug and then put in new engine oil ( don't forget the engine oil filter is still full so you won't need as much oil as a regular oil change )
What else can I help you with?

How bad is it for your car if you accidentally put some engine coolant into the oil tank?
Accidentally mixing engine coolant with oil can severely damage your car's engine. The coolant can dilute the oil, reducing its lubricating properties and leading to increased friction and wear on engine components. This combination can also cause sludge buildup, which can clog oil passages and lead to overheating or engine failure. If this happens, it's crucial to have the oil changed and the system flushed as soon as possible to mitigate damage.
Is it safe to drive your car if you accidentally put just a little oil in your coolant?
Yes. By little I'm talking two tablespoons. If more, then purge and refill with coolant and water.
