Re: Engine oil in transmision fluid???

Assuming you have a '97 and up GP I doubt you are getting engine oil in the tranny or vice versa. Dextron III ATF is defintely red in color. Did you have a tranny service in the past where the wrong ATF was put in? Using a white paper towel pull the tranny dipstick and wipe it on the paper towel. Then see what color you get. However, old Dextron III will get brown or dark looking if it has been a while since replaced. But there should be a slight tinge of red regardless.

How long has it been since it was replaced?
