According to this video, at 8min, it looks red/pink. OEM oil is probably going to be black/blackish if you have some miles on it. |

The bit about warranty suggests OP wants oil that can pass for OEM in a visual inspection in case of any warranty work that might arise in the future.

Hmmm...….OK, you are probably right.
Question for the OP @Legend@wheels as long as the oil that was put in the transmission meets the specifications in the manual, would it make a difference, when it comes to warranty work in Israel? I'm just wondering if you're worrying over something that doesn't need to be worried about? humfrz |

If its 100% fits so it might be more easier . But i dont think that the oils we put does that. (Mt90,mt85,pentosin,motul300 and so on) P.s If i was thinking what we put is bad i wasnt doing that in the first place/or the oil ive put caused that then i wouldnt go dealer at all since its my fault. But in this case those boxes came out from the dealer as a rubbish boxes. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

If the fluid is compatible, it doesn't matter if it's OEM or not...

If it’s the same “spec” it should not matter assuming the proper filling protocol was met and that replacing it wasn’t the specific issues “filling too much, too little, forgetting to put drain and or fill plug back on etc...” |

And to answer your question, OEM is amber in color. I've been using Toyota LV 75W transmission lube for changes at Toyota's suggestion (also amber). It ain't cheap though... I recently changed to Amsoil 75W-90 GL-4 because it's half the price of the Toyota stuff, and I have to say I'm not impressed. I might switch to Redline MTL 75W80 GL-4.
