Bulletin Summary
TECH ARTICLE TA0020: Oil Tinted Orange or Pink. Description: Some vehicles arriving from the factory have an orange or pink tint to the oil. Reason: Vehicles are selected at the plant at random times to perform an audit inspection. During these audit inspections, a fluorescent dye is added to the oil which can be orange or pink. This dye is used to check for leaks, seeps, and weeps after the vehicle is put through a test ride. This dye is oil soluble and does not effect the performance of the oil or the vehicle. The dye may be found in any oil cavity on the vehicle. Action: No action is required if there is dye identified in the oil.
About Technical Service Bulletins
A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
