Mine was also way overfilled from the factory, and it smelled really gross. It was a clear yellowish color. I wonder if they pissed in it
I believe your transmission should hold slightly more than 1.6L, so Amsoil is slightly off. and the factory stuff DOES smell absolutely rank, doesn't it! it gushed all over the place when I got the fill bolt off and got all over the concrete floor in my garage. I could smell it for weeks...
