I accidently put engine oil in the my tramnsmission fluid container. Now my engine light is on and I'm not sure what I should do now. Should I continue to drive my car?
Thank you.

Go right ahead and drive it if you want to get a different transmission.

Absolutely not, do NOT drive it. Drain the transmission fluid out or I would have it towed to the garage. I would not drive it. Put in Honda Premium tranny fluid.
