Some 10w30 in manual tranny ok?

Hello. 1994 22re pickup 4x4, 5-speed manual transmission.

I am about to change my manual transmission oil, replacing with Redline MT90.

To get it in the fill hole, I bought a cheap hand pump that fits quart size bottles. I intend to pour my Redline MT-90 into an old 10w30 motor oil bottle and commence pumping.

I'm draining and wiping out the 10w30 bottle as best I can, but a small amount will inevitably get into my transmission case. Do you think its okay?

No issue if doing as you said above. It's even OK to mix synthetic and conventional oils now.
