What should i do if my friend put motor oil in my transmission oil place?

Question

i was wondering if you have any ideas of what i should do and how much it would costs?

Answer 1

It would damage your transmission and you would most likely need to replace that transmission. I would not even go buy the transmission agian unless it is a new car.

Answer 2

If you flush it out now it won't do any damage.

Engine oil is mostly lube oil.  Tranny oil is mostly hydraulic oil.  The slippery engine oil will make the tranny clutch slip and eventually fail.

Good Luck...

Answer 3

Check with an experienced mechanic and or the dealership and if really recommended have the transmission oil very important flush drained and not simply drained as the previous method removes most of the oil and get it replaced with proper oil.

Answer 4

make her pay to have it flushed or fluid changed. do not drive it!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

one your friend is an idiot and shouldn't be near a car if they don't know were to put it, it would have been easyer to pay someone to change your oil its only like 29.99.  dont drive your car is will kill it, and try to drain it out and fill it with the right stuff

Answer 6

Depends on the gearbox, if a manual then it will not harm as any oil is better than none. In fact older cars used engine oil in the gearbox. However it may affect an automatic if the viscosity is not correct. Just change the oil and all should be well.
