Default Pink stuff

Just wondering how many of you have drained Redline oil out of your trannys to try a different type of oil, and if you just drain it once then put the new stuff in ?? I suppose what I'm asking is, will it mix ok with other synthetic or mineral oils or do you have to get rid of it completely.

I envisioned a completely different type of post when I opened it. Sorry I can't help you, I don't use Redline.

I think my attempt at humor has left me short of getting any advice.

You will be fine with the little bit of residual oil left clinging to parts inside the tranny if you put in a different type of oil. I drained out the stock stuff and went with Royal Purple 75w90 in my tranny.

Just my $.02

Oh yeah and by the way..... Luring everyone in with the thread title "pink stuff" is just cruel.... very cruel. You should have labeled it pink petroleum liquid.
