Dirt fell down the transmission dipstick

Hi Scotty, I have a 2013 Honda CRV with 53K. I checked the automatic transmission fluid with a hot engine turned off, when I pulled out the dipstick dirt and crud fell down inside. The fluid was on the lower "HOT" dot and was very light brownish. I could hardly see any fluid at all except at a certain angle. The dealer did change the fluid ( not a flush ) about 15K ago. Should I get it changed again? What color should the fluid be? Thanks, love the channel!

like how much are we talking?

 

A pea-sized piece of dirt isn't going to hurt anything. It should break apart and get trapped in the filter.

I would get the oil changed and a filter.  15,000miles is too long to wait.
