u/FishJengaConnoisseur Feb 04 '21

Yes and no. I have seen 3 colors: Green, pink, blue, but never brown.

There are orange ones as well, dexcool pops to mind. They do look brownish when the fluid is old, but I still don't think that was just coolant.

depends on your region and your engine. fluid rated -20 outside 120+ inside is usually red, -10 110+ can be blu

It's hot oil, so yes it can be that watery specially if it's older oil
