Nissan Matic D atf color and smell

Anyone here know how's genuine Nissan Matic D ATF smell and color?
I have 2 type Matic D on hand (from different shop), one is very red color and didn't have stink smell with thicker viscosity and another one is slightly brown color and smell like toyota type iv atf and very thin viscosity...

I guess it's just a difference formula?
Or something wrong with the product....?

Im from Malaysia and it has a lots of counterfeit product out there..


Nissan dealer don't have Matic D anymore so can't compare with real genuine product

I’m not sure what packaging is like in Malaysia, but this is what our Matic-D bottles look like in the US.

The Genuine matic D Fluid You have there is The Bright Red (left) Of the two. Smell wise it doesn't really smell when its new. Consistency of the Fluid is thicker though until it heats up.
It could be a Possibility that the other bottle is Contaminated or used.

Thank for sharing, but usually bottles look not that important as those fake product is recycling genuine bottle and fill with used/fake/low quality fluid in it. Really terrible things....

Thanks for the info, after reading your info and compared with the new and used fluid from the car, I think the slightly brown and stinky smell new fluid is used or recycling fluid, I think next time I will stay away from that shop...
