HWH jack going up slow

I went to bring up my jacks and the rear right one took for ever to come up .So I cleaned them with WD 40 and used HWH oil on them. I went to tank and checked it and it was low. So I took my HWH oil and poured it till I filled my little funnel.When putting the cap back on I noticed it had pink my oil was brown. Will this little bit of oil hurt the jacks at all, Was at a Rallay and HWH had a good deal so I bought a qt. The jacks come up a lot faster.So am I ok and when did HWH go to the pink stuff.

    Which model HWH do you have? I have the 200 series and mine uses Dextron III transmission fluid. Mine have been slow retracting also over the years and when this happens I spray them with silicone spray and they will retract within about 15 sec or so. I usually spray them once a year.
