if it is red all good! Dexron is also red but different additives. Hard to tell the difference, my old boss reckoned he could taste the difference, ha ha! But seriously, when it has been serviced it should of had the correct oil added

As snoopy said, take the inlet hose to the cooler off, and point it into a bucket. Start it up and pump the oil into the bucket. Easy as.
