Won't do it a lot of good, but I doubt it has badly damaged it :cry: get it changed ASAP

Go back to the shop and see the Manager, explain what has happened and ask him what he is going to do about the wrongly supplied oil and possible damage to your gearbox

If you can't fix it... use a BIGGER hammer !!!

You may need to drain again, after a while, and refill with fresh MT75.

The other oil will contaminate the new stuff, because it doesn't all drain out :wink:

The problem is when you go to a factors that stocks comma oil the recommended oil in the book is the 75/90 for a non turbo but MT75 for a turbo!
