I mean. You say new guy at the shop. Is this a customer car? Lol. Because I wouldn't be too happy.

If it's your truck, should be ok if you dont do a lot of towing.

Its easy And quick to change anyway. So why not just drain it and refill?

Shhhh!!! Don't say that too loud cause the customer might hear you!!
It was an honest mistake. Just grabbed the wrong bottle of fluid. But yes, I will drain and refill to correct my error....I mean he will correct his error!!
Dang it!!
Anyway, thanks for the advice!!
