How many miles is on your car? When was the last time the fluid has been changed. The fluid might be contaminated in your case. Even if the fluid is burnt it turns into a brown-ish color.
Car has just 37K miles. I bought it 2nd hand 2 years back. I don't know what was the color back then. My office is like 0.7mile and I make 3 trips to home everyday which is I guess pretty hard driving (conditions) considering oil stays mostly cold. Could this be the one of the reasons?
