ATF = ? What would the difference be in these two fluids in terms of appearance, color, consistency, etc? I put a newspaper under the car once to collet the drippings and it seemed like motor oil to me.

ATF should appear less viscous and usually is a color, red or green. It also tends to be less dirty than oil, so if its oil, it will look black and dirty.

Smell wise, ATF usually is more pungent also.
