What color does your transmission fluid come out?
I thought I'd start this thread to see what color everyones tramsmission, transfer case, and rear diff fluids are coming out -
I use Amsoil 75w90 svg oil for my transfer case and rear diff, and those come out a maroonish color..
I use Amsoil 74w90 gl4 transmission fluid in the trans and it comes out.. pure turqoise.. oddly both start out a kind of like brown clearish color... am I the only one here??
Post what fluids you use and what color they come out!

Pennzoil Syncromesh in the tranny 120k+ miles of changes and it comes out the same color as it went in everytime at a 6-10k change interval. Tranny shifts amazing to this day
TC and rear diff will be a little darker then when they go in same change interval with OEM Diaqueen.
I'd never use any other fluids they have proven themselves 120k+ and still bone stock trans, TC, and rear diff

guess im not the only one. tcase was gray/silver that moved through out dark looking oil. ACD fluid looked like it came from the bottle. transmission fluid was coffee. i used all amsoil products. maybe apagan can analyze this.

First 2k miles on my new rear diff the fluid looked a light greyish, after that it has come out just like new. Changed out rear diff fluid today and the old stuff came out looking really clean still. Trans and TC fluid is the same, comes out pretty clean. Im using redline in the rear diff and amsoil for trans and t case, btw.
