Did you do it or an indy?
My first instinct is to recheck the fluid level...1/2 an hour labour at a tranny shop...after mine I went for reassurance at a tranny specialist...all was well but just wanted to be doubly sure. They added .25 litre...I gained piece of mind...and increased confidence in my Indy....who I use in winter time...and where I don't want to do something...
I haven't done it yet...on our X3...but just did all fluids on a 2013 X6M with 60,000 miles...Yes, pan was dropped, magnets, filter and gasket replaced. If you drop the pan...don't reuse the bolts...you will regret it. My tranny oil was in great shape, as was the filter...minor fine paste on magnets. I could have got away with a drain and fill.
I don't think it was the greatest idea to mix...
