2021 2500 Hemi smelled like burnt Tranny fluid. Had it changed today at 63000 miles. Mopar mechanic said it was VERY black and burnt smelling., New pan/ filter and 5 Qts fluid. Only was able to drain 5qts, and replaced with the same. He recommended another on in no more than 10,000 miles due to unable to drain all the fluid from the torque converter. He said this "should be fine" being it was so dirty and despite the inability to drain all the fluid. Thoughts??
 
I agree, another pan drop or two should suffice. I did a pan drop on mine at 35k and the fluid wasn't black, but it also wasn't that clear greenish color either. It definitely was darker.
