Hi All,
Long time reader, first time poster. Have searched extensively and cannot find this answer. What fluid is this? It looks like motor oil! This is in a 2002 Toyota Avalon I just picked up. It has 72k original miles and was a 1 owner, extremely well maintained. I also found these markings which I wonder are factory or from a junkyard? I don't see that second part as I've heard almost nothing but amazing things about this tranny, the A541e. It shifts smooth with no issues. The dipstick says "D-II (never heard of), Dexron II or Dexron III which I am well aware of and know those other 2 are not this color. Could it be synthetic? I don't know if the fluid had ever been changed and if the condition to you guys looks due I will change it. But I would like to keep the same fluid that is in it. Thank you!
