This is a warranty dispute with the dodge dealer, they claim my mechanic used the wrong fluid, therefore will not cover anything. I have saved samples of the suspect fluid.

I am assuming that the places listed on this site include transmission fluid as well as used Engine oil. I got this from the site below, in case you want more info:
Q – How can I get my used engine oil analyzed?
A – Three places which provide oil analysis are listed below. Each is different and provides different services – such as projecting remaining engine life, or service requirements. Be sure to see how to properly collect your oil before gathering a sample. Collection technique is critical to proper analysis.
• Oil Analyzers, Inc. 2206 Winter Street, Superior, WI 54880, 715-395-0222
• Twin Ports Testing, Inc. 1301 North Third Street, Superior, WI 54880 http://www.twinportstesting.com/index.htm

Brian, Call costumer service of the company who formulated the oil that your mechanic ysed. Discuss your problem with them. To my knowledge, companies will analize anything they sell. Send a sample of your mechanics trans oil to the company who made it and they will identify more than enough info to support your claim.
Another simple way of getting to the bottom of this obvious farce is to purchase a quart of "Dodge responsilibity" approved trans. oil and compare all specs. with fluid from your mechanic. I wouldn't trust the DOUCHE dealer as they buy their fluids and oil by bulk. It's stored in tanks.
These frigging new car companies will attempt to wiggle and squirm anywhere to duck their warranty responsibilities. I understand why your crappy Dodge dealer would be doing it. Dodge transmissions are all weak sisters.
I hope you nail em!

Forensic Lab! Ask the police who they use.
There are a few different types of automatic transmission fluid that may have been used. They all look red and smell about the same. The only way to know for sure is to use a gas spectrum analyzer.

If you just had it done it should be a reddish pink color. Call AutoZone if you have one in you area they always help me when I have trouble. Or try this web site they may help.
