Hi everyone, i just wanted to know, on a new car, would it be normal that the color of the tranny fluid would start to turn brown at lower milage (ie: 50 000km)??? i've noticed this on a couple of cars (bought slightly used) that at around 60 000km when checking the tranny fluid it's already started turning brown...is this normal?
thanks

Well, new fluid doesn't really turn brown...typically it is golden brown from the factory. Only aftermarket fluid is red. To answer your question, yes, it is normal.
