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 )
