As already stated I've never heard of replacing ATF with engine oil. I think I would have that changed before you do any traveling. Of course give Allison a call and see what they say. They have service centers around the country. Good luck and hope all works out.
Large truck and bus fleets have used engine oil in Allison transmissions for years. I have managed a Fortune 50 fleet with 11,000 total units for nearly 40 years and can assure you that this is common practice. Now... in my coach, I use Transynd. It came factory equipped with Transynd. I also ran it in my previous coach after making the conversion.
Safe travels.
