Charlie hermens Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hey ya'll so I drive a 2005 lgt wagon, and today I went to top off my oil because I burn a tad bit and still have about 1500 miles left until I'm due for my next oil change and it seems that I forgot about the fact that I drained my power steering/transmission fluid into an old 5w-30 jug and apparently there was a mishap where somebody put that jug back up on a shelf and I thought it was 5w30. Long story short I put about a half cup of transmission fluid into my oil tank and I was wondering if it would hurt anything to run it for another 1500 miles or if i should just cut my losses and change my oil early. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleides Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Seconded. Change that sh*t. Yes, it's a lubricant, but transmissions don't see combustion. I'd change that out ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I seem to recall many years ago that some old guys would run a little transmission fluid in the engine before the oil change... Which you just did, now do a oil change.
