    Trim Fluid

    I had some red colored fluid in my trim cylinder and went and bought a new bottle of the reccomended trim fluid to top it off and found that the new product is now clear. Any reason for the color change? Are the two fluids compatible?

    Thanks,
    Kent

    Totally compatible.

    Red dye was added to the "factory" fluid to aid in "leak detection".
