As part of my general tidy up/service of my new truck i noticed that the PAS fluid is bright blue...

From what i can gather, this engine uses normal "ATF" style PAS fluid, which is typically red. Any ideas what this blue stuff might be?

Ok so evidently i'm a muppet.

Sucked some of the fluid out with a syringe, and it comes out brown and smells like ATF.

Heres a photo of the bottle:

Really looks blue! Must be some optical effect with the plastic or something!

If its brown it needs changing.

Its still very odd that it looks blue in the reservoir though!
