That's a big difference from running straight ATF as a total substitute for the proper oil. We need a expert tribologist, but I bet he would say it's entirely conceivable the engine would suffer premature wear from this accident. It's not like it got driven 30 miles with
10w30 instead of 0w20, transmission fluid is far from meeting the manufacturer specified lubrication.
