So I had a similar experience after they replaced my transmission. Repair order showed they replaced the oil filter but no mention of oil. I was already going to pull a sample ( easy with the Valomax) to check on fuel dilution that was high this spring so I did. Results came back and I noticed the comment questioning correct oil usage. So not being sure of what they did with the oil I just changed it and the filter for peace of mind. I do all my own oil changes so I know what it had before the transmission change. Probably overreacting but not worth having a question mark on my maintenance history.Changed out the crummy synthetic blend 5w30 they dumped in my engine when they swapped my trans for full synthetic Ultra Platinum Pennzoil.
I feel better now. Felt a little wasteful till I dumped it. For oil with all of 200mi on it, was kinda cruddy and dark. Maybe the swap broke some crud loose in there I dunno.
It's almost like there was used oil in it ?

That Valvomax thing is great, didn't have to remove the skid plate, no mess, easy work ?

PS fuel dilution had dropped from 5% down below 2%
