Hi all,

When I purchased my TSX from Carmax it was a Acura loaner car before and everything was serviced by the dealership. at 25K the fluid was changed but now that I checked the flood is like a new engine oil color. Did Acura change the fluid color? I know the TL on the 2006 was red.

Thanks

 

should be red..


but "now" doesn't tell us how much mileage is currently on the car.

 

43k

 

This is the color of transmission fluid.

 

ATF is dyed red, over time it will darken and this is normal.
As long as it's not black/burnt.

 

So approximately 16k miles on new fluid color changes that fast?

 

A fluid change doesn't change ALL the fluid. Actually, most of the fluid will still be "old".

You're fine.
