that is fine. any ATF will work, if using just to fill the filter to get stsrted, or to use to clean ht epump internals and injectors.
atf burns like diesel, just not as hot so it will work fine to use to get the truck running after a filter change.
it is also a high detergent oil, so works perfect as a cleaner. fill the filter, fire the engine and let idle for about 30 seconds, then shut off and let sit for at least 12 hours. the longer the better though. i let sit at least 24 hours, then fire it up and run it like i stole it. the ATF loosens any gum/crud in the pimp and injectors, and running it burns it up.
i fo the ATF trick once a year to keep things in the fuel system clean.
