JD 530 tranny flush...refill

I flushed the 530 tranny w/diesel for 20 minutes and drained. Can I refill with oil right away or should I let it drain for a while? Would a little diesel in the tranny break down the new tranny oil? Also, can I use the dirty drained diesel in a diesel tractors fuel tank? Thanks for your previous helpful replies.

I would not put any diesel fuel into an engine after it was used to flush out a transmission. The sludge you flushed out will plug or shorten the remaining life of your diesel fuel filters. Worst case you might have to flush out another diesel fuel tank. Find another use for it.
