Wrong oil added to DD 8V71TI's...

[dar636]

I discovered that Delo 400 40wt was inadvertently added to the mains and transmissions. So I changed the main engine oil and filters, and went back to Delo 100 40wt - so my question is what would the brain trust recommend to do with the transmissions?

Are they as critical regarding oil as the DD's?
What happens when Delo 100 and 400 are mixed?
Should I suck out the transmissions and replenish with Delo 100 or just press on?

Any quality 40W oil is fine in the trannys. Your choice on whether to leave the 100 and 400 mixed in the mains.
I doubt there is any problem with the mix.

100 or 400 or mixed should be fine in the Allisons
