I wouldn't, but what do I know. I read somewhere a while back that you should never mix oils. There will probably be many comments here in a few minutes.

If you know what is in it, just add the same. I’d be concerned as to why it is low, how low and things like that.

I agree. Some transmissions have been migrating fluid to the primary. To be sure, pull the derby cover and check the primary fluid.

Duh? Why not some of the tranny fluid that’s in the tranny?

Ask Bruce (Caytlin) Jenner.

How old is the fluid?
I'd change it out just to be safe.
Where do you usually maintenance it?
When was it replaced last?
