What are the dangers of pouring transmission oil where motor oil goes?

Sure, it'll clean out your engine. It will also ruin the gaskets and possibly seize the motor since it doesn't have anywhere near the protection factor the parts need. Hydraulic fluid and oil are two completely different things.What are the dangers of pouring transmission oil where motor oil goes?
well how does a complete thermal breakdown in the engine block sound...expensive?What are the dangers of pouring transmission oil where motor oil goes?
You could ruin your engine! It is not formulated to go in your engine!
dangerous.. i use to work at this auto shop.. and this lady did that, and we had to flush the engine out like i 4got how many times.. but it was a lot... . i think it is because the weight of the engine oil is different then the transmission oil and this will cause a lot of problems..
Huge dangers, the oil is drastically different. If this happened DO NOT attempt to start the engine. Have it taken to a reputable service center. It could very easily destroy your engine. Transmission temps are higher, however transmission oil does not contain the proper protectants, inhibitors, or required additives. It is thicker; could damage the oil pump, bearings, and more. Bottom line: it's bad!
Chad, Trans fluid is fine for a short period of time do not loose sleep over it. Trans fluid is great for hydraulic lifters and overall cleanliness of your motor. I would however get it changed with the correct oil within 500 miles because it does not change viscosity ratings in an efficiently running motor.
there are no dangers, actually transmission fluid cleans out your engine, just drain it out and put oil back in it, it will probably smoke alot until the transmission fluid burns out, after the smoke has cleared, change your oil again, don't forget to replace your filter because it can still contain some transmission fluid.
