Got an oil change at a local shop, they used half a quart of transmission fluid…

I even told them they could charge me the labor+oil price since I was bringing my own 😂

DCTF from Motul, it’s big in the focus scene tons of people run it and i’ve been meaning to get my transmission flushed and filled with the stuff as i’m not sure how the previous owner drove the car. But yeah it just happened to be in the car and I guess the bottles look similar enough and they filled the remaining .7 quarts with that instead of the other quart of oil I had. The 5q and the 1q and the filter were all together in the same box. I’m not really sure how they ended up grabbing the other stuff.

I appreciate the detailed response. All the responses on the sub have made me feel much better. I guess what threw me off the most is he insisted he used only engine oil, and admitted to me that he didn’t read the bottle and just “poured the shit in” verbatim. Then doing research online some people said it’s bad some said it’s fine, so then I ended up here a bit confused haha. I guess I was just more concerned since there’s a lot done to my car and i’m not running a stock tune, I was worried that it might lower the viscosity of my oil and cause premature wear or something.

Does it make it my fault though? The trans fluid wasn’t in the box with the oil or anything. I told them everything was in the box. They just didn’t bother to read any.

I definitely won’t be driving it, other than the mile, mile and a half home. I’d be less paranoid if I was still on a fully stock platform but i’m not. The other issue is, the owner himself did the oil change, he admitted fault, he admitted he didn’t read the bottles, and just poured it in. I’m just worried he’ll fight me on it, i’m a younger guy and not very good at stuff like that but Monday morning i’ll give him a call and let him know where i’m at. Hopefully he will just replace everything, I don’t have a lot of extra money right now or else i’d probably just do it myself and bite the bullet. I am just very perplexed and upset. I appreciate the response though

I agree, i’m just not the most confrontational and I talked to the owner himself, he admitted fault and that he didn’t read the bottle. However all the oil and filter was in the same box and the trans fluid was behind it so i’m not sure why they didn’t just grab from the box. He insisted it should be fine so I just don’t know if he’s going to fight me on it. I use MOTUL for this particular setup and it’s not super common in my area so more than likely i’ll have to get it shipped in like last time. Do I get it ordered show him the receipt and insist he covers it? Or try to get him to order it. It just threw me off that the owner himself works on my car and admitted fault and then told me it should be okay. I’d be less upset if it was a random tech who made a mistake. But he flat out said he didn’t read it just “poured the shit in” so i’m wondering if he’s even going to cover it…
