Roast my tranny fluid color....

2011 SR5 SPORT 2WD 5.7 240K
I recently did a Pan drain & refill.
When topping off or getting it to the correct fluid level I let some ATF in a empty dry water bottle then dipped my Clean oil stick to get a better contrast perspective as if it did have a transmission dip stick.
The color imo is not as bad as I imagined it would be.

 

Dab some on a paper towel. Just looks like oil on the dipstick. Also, what do you do with the truck? Have you owned it the whole time? Ever changed the fluid before?

 

I bought it with 234k summer of 2023.
I don't haul or tow anything. I drive 24 miles a day 3 days a week plus errands. About 5k miles total in 2024 I work 12 miles from home..... I just did a Pan drain and refill last week & last year when I bought it.
Drive it on the pavement only being it's a 2wd TRD Sport. Once in a full moon I'll punch it.

 

Looks fine to me. If it's bad, it's gonna be much, much darker.

 

So far it shifts like a champ.

 

Looks good to me. Better than what came out of my sequoia with 110k on it (bought at 87k). I’ll go blot some of that out on a napkin and you will be surprised.

 

That's almost as red as your mom's ass after I'm done spanking it....Looks fresh
Don't ban me mods. This is a roast!

 

Looks brand new for WS fluid, it tends to darken quickly

 

Indeed it's Valvoline Syn WS amongst other specs.

 

I have a 2007 tundra that the starter relay is getting a constant power and causing starter to engage any ideas?
