Its shouldnt cause any problem as long as it wasnt run, if if it was, a good flush should be ok, as long as it wasnt run with 5 plus liters of engine oil and 3-4 plus liters of gearbox oil as well in the sump!

Highly trained,

Then how does a HIGHLY trained tech fill the engine up with ATF.

Still, the more the dealers muck up, makes us little guys look better!!!

Maybe he served his apprenticeship with Jock Campbell at The Garage?
Those guys are a real laugh sometimes considering they are called mechanics.
