Crap! Dealer gave me wrong fluid!

[Geof3]

Oh, not good this happened, but at least the trans will be fine. Really tough call on who’s responsibility this is. Yes, the dealer choked, no doubt. But in the end, you didn’t double check before filling it. Keep us posted on how this turns out, and hopefully you get the goo out and new fluid in quickly!

I think MWS hit the nail on the head, doing your own maintenance person actually putting the fluids in the machine is responsible for verification that it is correct type. That said you are not the first person accidentally put in wrong fluid, at least you caught the error before it could cause major damage. If you return unopened fluid for sure dealer would exchange, maybe they will feel bad and give you a break.

Your original post didn't identify HOW you ordered the fluid. Was it an online order or across the dealer counter?

If you ordered online, absent any communication with the seller/dealer, and based upon your own research for the fluid... I'd say your mistake.

If you ordered directly across the counter, in person, and told them it was a tip, and they sold you the incorrect fluid, I'd be in their grill.

Part of paying for a service is that they take on all the responsibility. As a DIYer, I have to also lean towards the "...If I pour it in then it's my problem..."
And I get that feeling that you're attacking this problem as such, asking advice how to flush out. Hopefully the dealer responds with some help but you probably dealt with a counter person. Their only stake is to cover their own ars and deny, deny, deny

Good luck and hopefully all turns out well.

By the way, I gotta think most of use DIYer have done very similar things. I know I have. And I invented new curse phrases because of it, maybe even popped a few blood vessels
