Need expert advice since I am trying to save $100 on the NV4500 oil if possible. Tranny was completely rebuilt after running it with no oil. I filled it up with 5 quarts of redline mt85. Ran out of time to begin the install so I left it next to the truck, some heavy rains/wind came down overnight and most of Wednesday. I had put a nitrile glove over the top shifter hole, then a trash bag with a jackstand on top (for weight). well, the next day trash bag/jack stand were gone and the glove had a couple of slits so I have to assume that water went in. would you drain and buy new oil? or drain and try to separate water from oil and reuse/refill? or, (I understand that with water/oil mixture. the oil will float to the top) should I just try to drain some of the water out?
I would hate to ruin or shorten the life of the tranny (and blow another $1300) by not doing the right thing.
TIA
