I wanted to say thank you so much to everyone here! You guys really led me in the right direction. Went ahead and pulled the plug. Currently been dripping for a few hours.
I’ve attached a photo of the old and new fluid. The old is dark, but is not burnt, so I think I got it at the right time, although I think I’m gonna start doing a 35,000 miles or 2 years as I do drive mainly highway everywhere and drive about 30,000 miles a year.
Once again, thank you all!
