When I opened mine up after 513 000km to stroke it to 4.7L, It was only dirty where oil accumulate and doesn't drain. I ran synthetic (Amsoil and Mobile1) and changed it once a year with a filter change every 6 month. I did flush it before every oil change. Now after the rebuilt, I can't have extended oil changed anymore because of the extra load on the cam (and its not recommended on high performance engines) I only use Amsoil Zrod and it starts getting dirty after around 10000km at which time I change it.

Add a transmission cooler, gear your axles correctly and drive in 3rd when pushing it harder than normal.

If you don't see obvious damage, re-fill transmission with proper oil, have a buddy start it and see it come out. Turn it off. It will leak enough to empty the line. Now all you have to do is change/fix the line. No worries, its not high pressure.
