Low Oasis Fluid Level

In replacing one of the Oasis pumps I perhaps lost a few ounces of fluid. Subsequently I noticed that the fluid in the reserve tank was slightly below the minimum level. I obtained a gallon of Century Transfer Fluid Antifreeze but it was for labeled for AquaHot. Color is green rather than red. Any difference in the material other than the color?
Oasis recommends changing the coolant every 5 years. Since we use the unit only a few months a year should the coolant be changed at that interval? Is that a job for an end user or does it require more expertise than an owner, i.e. another pump, etc to fill the system?

Give ITR a call and they can advise you on both questions.

Rule of thumb, do not mix colors as per ITR
