Change it as you normally would, hot. The oil has coolent in it
already and I'm sure it has been driven that way for a while. As for
changing it a second time naa. Assuming no damage has been done the small
amount that might cling to things won't hurt. After a few days driving
pull the dip stick and put a little oil in a spoon. Heat the spoon if it
spits that means you still have coolent in the oil.
