Trany lube color.

Just replaced the trany lube on our M/Y 86 3.2.

The oil color seems to be a brown/pinkish color.

Not sure who did the previous lube replacement.

Any thoughts?

TIA,

Gerry

For a 915 you hope that it is blue

Not finicky.

Just trying to determine the type of oil that was used.

It’s not the blue ‘magic’ potion, that’s all we’ll know.

To me, that looks like old tranny oil.
