So I have 86k on my FX and I checked the fluid tonight. It was after 20+ miles of driving, was topped off at the mark. The fluid does not smell burnt, but my question is, what color is the fluid new? I am not sure as this may be different from my past american cars.

Not certain it has ever been changed, is 86k to late to have a fluid change performed?

Thanks.
 
Just do a drain & fill...do not flush it. The Nissan matic S fluid is a red color when new. Almost like strawberry syrup.
