They were white, a little gunky. The oil was still spotless and still looked new at 55k. However it was just easy daily driving, no track time. The filter comes with a new o-ring similar to engine oil filters.

Oh nice! Thanks brother.

So what did you use to clean the gasket and pan? Just a little dish soap and water? My pan was replaced probably 5k miles ago so I am assuming the gasket is still in good condition. I'm pretty sure the dealership reused the oil in the transmission though, so I'm thinking about servicing it.

Oil wash and finished with carburetor cleaner. I can't remember what brand carburetor cleaner I used. But you want the brand that dries completely via air. No oil residue leftover.

If I venture into the shop I'll tell you the brand. I use it all the time to clean the engine components up and when my OFHG was leaking.
