Red Fluid In System?

[jay1688]

I looked at a '70 DS wagon here in CT/USA. No leaks, everthing working, but noticed instead of green LHM it has a red fluid. Any thoughts?

Thanks, Steve

Both types were used Red and Green, Red LHS in earlier types and the Green LHM obviously later ones, I think the change over period was late 1969 but don't quote me on that, also the yanks used to replace the LHM with Dextron 2 which also is Red and it was a thicker fluid so less leaks but that also had added problems associated with swapping
