Hey guys, I just checked the oil on my 2012, I noticed on the dipstick the oil has a slight red tinge to it. I recently switched to amsoil 5w20 signature series. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I'm worried that I'm getting atf in the engine oil, is that even possible? if there's a seal gone? I ordered an analysis kit and will be getting that sent away once I receive it, but I'm paranoid and stressing out right now. Can anyone give me some input??

I've seen a lot of posts online of other people's oil turning red but no solid reasons why.
