It didnt have trans fluid in it when I bought it but some type of regular oil. I had the machine on a job and had about 3 hours of work left to do and I put hydro fluid in it. I figured it was better then running it while as low as it was. I put 5 gallons of hydro fluid in it and it put it a little over full.

Do I need to drain it back out or is it ok?

I know,,,, dumb question.
