Last time I bought these the red ink had been downgraded to a lighter poor-flowing shade. Are they back to the original red?

I had the same problem with the red ink running out the fastest on the multicolor pen. I finally bought a 12 pack of red BIC pens on Amazon for $1.79. (That's the total for ALL 12 pens.) I used the first one 5 days a week at work, several times a day, and it lasted me almost a year. I still have most of the rest. This is the product: BIC Round Stic Xtra Life Ball Pen, Medium Point (1.0 mm), Red, 12-Count.http://www.amazon.com/BIC-Round-Medium-Point-12-Count/dp/B00006IE7J?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpageI do still like the multicolor pens, and use them for other purposes.

The red has changed- less ink and lighter

The ink has changed color over the years, but I have used these since about 1971. I hadn't noticed any particular change in the amount of ink of any particular color. It could just be a bad batch of red ink.

How do you refill the lead

TO refill the lead you simply twist the barrel to open it. Remove the metal piece on the lead tube. Insert no more than 2 leads and reassemble. I hope this is helpful. The BIC Team - The Official BIC Store

Can you refill this pen with basic fine point cartridges or do you have to use Medium cartridges like it originally comes with?

The BIC 4-Color fine or medium refill will fit in the pen. I hope this helps. The BIC Team - The Official BIC Store
