Bob,
My experiences with ATF are that it will change from "new" red to a darker
red over time and that's normal but if it changes to a more black shade it
indicates that either it's been running hotter than the engineered, normal
heat range and has degraded or it's showing signs of internal seal/gasket
breakdown.....or both!
In either case, I think it's a wise recommendation to change it and the
filter.

Are the quick lube guys just looking to pad the
profits? Or should ATF stay red even after 40K?
