I'm supposed to drive my car about 20 km this weekend cause in my country this is a holiday and we celebrate it by drinking

Anyways i recently unflooded my car and used ATF. Unfortunately i haven't changed the oil and there's no way that i can buy the oil today. Im gonna go in about 1.5 hours so im wondering if i should miss this weekend or i should drive my car without changing oil?

Was also wondering:

I've read that the oil gets contaminated by ATF, but how is that possible? The ATF never gets mixed with the oil other than what is normally pumped in.

no you don't need to change your oil if you put in some atf to start the car

most of it got burned up when the car started up that's why there is smoke out of the exhaust when you use atf

the only reason you need to change the oil is if you haven't done it in a few months or 2-3 thousand miles depending on how you drive. I think you'll be fine, maybe just check the oil level before the trip.

thanks, pending on your number of posts i reckon you're not a rookie

I will check the oil and i always have a litre of oil with me just in case.

Thanks.
