Your risking a high $$$$$ transmission. R&R the fluid only. The transmission fluid is VERY specific as to it's frictional characteristics. I doubt your mechanic will flush with the OEM fluid @ $25+ per quart and using anything else will contaminate the transmission.

Again, DON'T DO IT!, DON'T DO IT!, DON'T DO IT!
LOL

this is a good point... if its the wrong oil, your tranny is fubar... but if they do have the correct oil and you have a competent mechanic (ie no knuckle dragging grease monkey) then you are fine... (same goes for the filter)
