I can only guess by the looks of that that it had some transmission fluid in it, mixed with who knows what.
My transfer case on my 1993 disco (v8 auto) has been whining for a while. So using the articles aroung here I replaced the fluid.20180112_144750.jpg
What I drained out looked dark purple almost red. Like crushed red grapes. I thought "That's where the wine is!"
Jokes aside, what did I drain from the transfer case??

I'm guessing Redline Shockproof?
Syntrax (now Syntrax Universal) was red too.
Royal Purple is....purple!
It could be any number of fluids, a number are coloured red, it's just a dye after all.
So the odd colour shouldn't be an indication of incorrect fluid then?
was worried damage was done.
Refilled with Castrol 80w 90, with Morleys Oil stabiliser, swapped the wine for honey!
While I have great respect for Ricks advice on all things oil I did have this experience back in the 1980s. I worked for a company running Unimogs in the NT where they had to run long distances at high speed in heat. Bull gears on the Portal Axles were failing very regularly resulting in noise and expense. Many different oils were tried and nothing cut it the old Dutch mechanic we had mixed Moreys with the oil at a ratio that I cant remember and it solved the issue. Of note was the fact that if we put too much in it just overheated the Portals but if we kept the ratio right the problem was solved. Oil technology has probably come a long way since then but at the time it was the answer.
