Car: GM 2004 Aveo When a car is brand new and you bring it in for its first an oil change what would cause the ATF to become black? The dealer gave all kinds of BS answers to why and said there was nothing they could do about it. This is my GF's car and its now at 100,000km and every oil change she is shown the ATF fluid and she gets it flushed and she is getting tired of it and wants to get the problem solved.
