Cheers. They will have color, but a clear atf means it is not contaminated. If it is cloudy or brown, it is time to drain and replace.

REDLINE D4 ATF also provides incredible high-temperature functioning of the car without valves being varnished and also provides decreased viscosity by the clutches.

What is the color of CVT transmission fluid?

Normal CVT fluid is color red. When it is clean, it can be semi-transparent or dark red. Transmission fluids are dyed to help car owners to differentiate it from other car fluids. CVT fluid is a crucial part of the vehicles’ Continuously Variable Transmission. Remember that the quality of transmission fluid is not based on the color.

What does it mean when transmission fluid is black?

Black transmission fluid means you need to change it immediately. The color indicates contamination and possible oxidization. You can be sure of the oxidized condition if there is a burnt odor. When the transmission fluid color reaches this stage, it means that some internal parts might have already been damaged.

What should I do if my transmission fluid is low?

Low level and good condition: If your transmission fluid is low, there is a leak. Unlike your engine which can “consume” oil due to normal use, a transmission is a sealed unit. Have your transmission inspected as soon as possible to avoid internal damage.

REDLINE D4 ATF also provides incredible high-temperature functioning of the car without valves being varnished and also provides decreased viscosity by the clutches.

Can a clear transmission fluid have no color?

“Clear” implies no color, and to my knowledge, from the dozens of fluids I’ve seen, you will always have some color, as additives are not clear. The Synthetic Base Oil can be clear, but then you add different chemicals to improve oxidation, wear, etc. These chemicals are not clear.

When to add red dye to transmission fluid?

Red dye is generally added to automatic transmission fluids (to identify a transmission leak vs a motor oil leak), but today many people don’t even know what kind of transmission they have. Automatic, CVT, Dual Clutch, etc.

What does it mean when transmission fluid turns black?

The color of automotive fluids is generally meaningless. Used car dealers and mechanics love that consumers believe that color is an indication of something, but it’s simply not. Your transmission fluid probably turned black a long time ago, perhaps even before 50k miles, well before it “needed” to be changed.
