I wouldn't panic, but would drain the tranny again and replace with the proper fluid. More Mopar trannies are destroyed by wrong fluid than any other cause.

Transmission fluid 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee What transmission fluid do I need for?

Automatic transmission is a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee uses ATF4. Use of other grades of fluid will cause damage to transmission. Addition to answer: The new ATF4 that they recommend is the recommended fluid due to Heat, load, speed and environmental stresses the transmission in these vehicles will undergo. There are other ATF fluids which even exceed the manufacturers ATF4 fluid... meaning they are even better for your transmission. For instance a Hydrotex HyTorque Trans Fluid exceeds the manufacturers ATF4 fluid by ALL specifications. But the original answer is correct, do not put anything of lower value into your transmission or it could cause damage over a long period of time.

What if you use the wrong type of oil?

Well, if you only used a different grade of oil, like 10W-30 instead of 5W-30, everything should be fine 'til the next oil change. If you put the wrong type of transmission fluid in your transmission, like Dexron/Mercon instead of Chrysler ATF+4, get the fluid changed and transmission flushed immediately; incorrect transmission fluid type can ruin your transmission. If you put oil in your transmission, or transmission fluid in your brake fluid, or brake fluid in your power steering pump or engine (or any other variation of fluid confusion that may exist), you may be in for some costly repairs. Get the suspect system flushed and fluid changed as soon as possible.
