So I have a 2022 nonsasquatch, badlands, that just hit 29k miles this weekend.I did the oil transmission and two diffs Saturday.I just didn't quite get to the transfer case

i went to a friend's today.And when I went to get something out of the car, I noticed there was a little bit of drip under my bronco, and I traced it to the transmission.So when I got home, I realized I forgot to put sealant on the fill and drain plugs

i did do sealant for the differentials, so don't worry about that.

what I was gonna do was since this is brand new fluid, with maybe 50 miles on it. I was just gonna drain the fluid. Put sealant on the plugs and put the fluid back in.

But as you can see from the post picture even with the 3 new quarts of redline it still came out super dark, and I know you don't always get everything out, especially with a drain and fill, but that is some dark ass fluid for 50 miles.

so I wanted to see what people thought.I have to do a work trip.So i've got a few days to decide.Do you think that I should just buy another three quarts of redline for about eighty bucks after tax and refill with brand new stuff or put this back in, I know what i'm probably gonna do.But I wanted to see what others say

Dang.
I would probably just get new fluid. That seems like cheap insurance all things considered.

Thats what I was thinking but I wanted to make sure I wasn't overreacting but I plan to keep this one for the long haul. It's just too perfect.I can't believe I found it used and didn't have to save up to get one new cause that's what I wanted fully loaded badlands, but with a manual transmission and no sasquatch package, the only thing I didn't want was the soft top, and i've learned to deal with that it just sucks loading cargo in the back.

I don't think I could find another one.If I searched for a year because I was searching for like six months when I found this one.And I just had to jump on the chance and drove down there that day not to mention to get one that was unmodified immaculate condition and was such low miles for that price
