I'm an idiot

So for the first time in my life i just did something dumb and accidentally drained about 2 quarts of my transmission fluid instead of my oil ( arguing with the wife, got flustered) is it gonna hurt anything to run to Autozone and grab some of the shelf at fluid??? Need help like now

 

Dont risk it

 

I don't want to but I'm out of options as it's the only means for my wife and I right now, anyone have any insight? Will I be alright??

 

Why not drive the wife's car?


Edit: nvm

 

neighbor
public transit
walk
bike
phone a friend

 

Don't use off-the-shelf fluid unless you intend to do a full flush. Even fluids which are advertised as "compliant" to Toyota WS specs aren't necessarily intermixable with Toyota WS.

Full fill is 11.5 qt. Missing 2 qt for a short trip at low speed probably won't cause damage. Not sure if the transmission would be able to shift correctly, though.

Was going to say the exact same thing

 

Uber. Lyft.

 

good suggestions as well

 

Best way to go.

 

If you drained it into a clean container, just use a turkey baster and fill it back up...... if the fluid isn't contaminated.

 

If this is the first time in your life doing something dumb you've had a phenomenal run. Congrats. I do something dumb most every day.

 

If I don't fuck it up what's the excuse to fix it?!

 

Haha yeah that was sarcasm I fuck up a lot, but that's exactly how I learned how to fix things, update dad pulled through and moms out of town so borrowing her truck tomorrow to fix my fuck up the right way, thanks for the input everyone, anyone have a ballpark on how much the fluid is from Toyota??

 

About $5 to $7 a quart.

 

Ahh so bout normal price good deal, thanks

 

thats a cheap fuck up.

 

it's best not to blame dumb shit on the wife. learn early.

hahah..you'll be alright.

 

Uber, man.... Don't risk it.
