My buddy owns a trans shop and he got it for me ($20)
They'll send you a vile.. Put the sample in and fill out the paper work and mail it.. Got the results back in about a week.
Now that I know theirs no antifreeze, I'm going to do the complete flush and get fresh fluid through there.

I'm actually from Spokane WA, but didn't know that company was there. I guess maybe next time I visit my parents I should stop by and see if they can do some testing on the spot.
