Hello,
After reading on this forum that ATF can look very bright when it the dipstick wiped on tissue paper but can be much darker in reality, I decided to syringe out some ATF (JWS 3309) to experiement. Indeed the ATF is looking dark burgundy color in the tumbler and bright on a white plate. Quite a surprise for me !
Wondering if this means that the ATF itself is not oxidized too much (to turn brown) yet, but has some debris in it which is blocking light when put in the tumbler to make it look dark...
Does ATF turn dark burgundy from bright red rather quickly? Is this ATF it good for 2000 more miles or so?
Attaching relevant photos for reference; both shot in daylight using the same smartphone and unedited.
