OMG better have it towed to your nearest shop without starting the engine and have the engine flushed and have new oil put in.You can have engines flushed just like you have transmissions flushed.If you've already started the engine you're screwed.

Forget everything half the idiots above have said, it's no biggie at all, for years, people use to use tranny fluid before an oil change to flush the system, it's a conditioning cleaner, just like half the additives off the shelf you add to oil. I would change the oil fairly soon, you dont need to pay to have it "flushed", because in sense, thats what you just did, just dont high rev your engine untill you have it drained, because you've lost vescosity and will add friction. You wont "blow" it if you try to start it or anything like that, basically it's a cheapo way of a motor flush, similiar to the lower priced flush additives that say in the directions to drive for a few days then drain the oil. So no worries, your all good. And please people, if you dont know what your talking about, please dont respond.

If you added a quart or less, do nothing. Transmission fluid has a higher temperature range than oil and can provide better lubrication. In addition, the solvents in the formula can clean your engine gently by removing carbon deposits. From time to time, I add it to my oil as well as a quart in the full tank of gas. I have 278,000 miles on my engine and when my mechanic replaced my bearings a couple of years ago from normal wear and tear, he said my engine was the cleanest high mileage one he had ever seen. Another good benefit of transmission fluid in the oil is that it lubes your upper engine lifters and valves.

Just drain the oil tank, depending on how much you put in I might even add a couple of quarts of new oil just to drain it again after. Afetr that just fill up the oil tank again with new oil and try to be more carful next time.

not a big deal, change the oil again with all new oil. A little trans oil may actually help clean the inside of the motor, but dont leave it in there.

its no big deal. just drain all the oil replace the oil filter and refill with the proper grade oil recommended by manufacturer. tranny oil is more refined oil design for smaller clearances than the ones in the engine,therefore will not lubricate the engine properly.

then the motor will seize as soon as you start it. jk :P
lol no biggie. trans fluid is just another petroleum distillate. if you put in more than half a quart, just drain the oil and put in fresh, or if you dont do work yourself, go have the oil changed. (but id recommend not telling the shop about your accident ;)
i just love to see the ignorant things some people put on here...i wish people who didnt know what they were talking about would go find something else to do with their time. im referring the moron above this post.
