The dealership should put in the correct fluid, I would say you have the wrong fluid in the transmission possibly. I guess you are talking about tranny fluid. They put in what they had and that is not necessarily what should have been used. The engine oil could be wrong as well.
It pays to know exactly what they used, get it written down and not take their word that the correct fluids were used.
