Will this be fine?
You will be fine.. You don't really want to start a lubricant debate, one will say ur lube is good the other will say his is better and it'll never end.. Put some **** in there and ride

You'll be fine with the Drag Tranny oil. Like Xdefied said you don't want this to turn into an oil debate.

It's better to change with a warm engine but changing it cold won't hurt anything either. Just let it drain for a while. And yes, 1qt then re-torque the bolt.
