I would suggest it’s not life threatening in the short term, but it’s not recommended. If anything it will compromise the performance of the recommended oil already in there. I would change it sooner rather than later.

Dexron 3 is a specification, If Comma's product meets that spec use it, any other brand up choose.

Says in your profile ‘LR-none yet’ but I’m fairly sure you have a P38?

If so you have an HP22/HP24 gearbox depending on model - our Enery is the one to ask he’s a pervert connoisseur with oils for these boxes.
