So I'm changing my engine oil today when my neighbor swings by to talk to me. Just before he swung by, I had just grabbed my Locus transmission additive and I was holding it in my hand.

As we were talking I wasn't paying attention, and I began to pour my transmission oil additive into my engine oil port. (opps) Then with a fresh oil change, I ran the truck and let it idle in my driveway for about 3 minutes before checking the oil level. When I pulled the dip stick, I noticed it was covered in bright red oil and it dawned on me what I did. So after using every four letter word I knew in rapid succession; I removed the drain plug and filter to let it completely drain out while I ran to the store. I used my old ladies car and drove to the parts for for new oil and oil filter.

So after purchasing the most expensive oil filter I could buy, I put Mobile 5w/30 full synthetic like I always do. I let it idle again and checked for unusual smoking, sputtering, noise, or smells and everything seems fine.

I'm such a moron !! :emotions122:

Trany fluid stops lifter ticking, you can use it as long as you dont go a long time without changing it. :) so no worries

Yea and tranny fluid is a good rust presenter for engines that are sitting a long time without running....no problems running it in the engine for a few minutes.
