M135/M211 tranny question

The automatic transmissions installed in the M135/M211 series 2 and 1/2 ton trucks used 30 weight
oil from the factory but I've been told that when the transmissions were rebuilt they used Dexron II
ATF. Is it bad for the tranny to use regular 30 weight oil? If not then why the switch to ATF?

Thanks for your help,
