Hi Folks,
I just changed my oil for the first time after the dealer changed it at the 600 mile mark last year. I only put on about 2,000 miles, but since a year has passed, thought I'd change it myself. While it was draining, I noticed a distinct pink/red color to the oil. Almost the color of transmission fluid from a car/truck. I drained it all from the bottom 3 drain plugs and changed out the filter. Any thoughts about what the color was? I added 15W-50 per the owner's manual and it's your typical golden oil color. Thanks in advance for any insight. Tom
