No burnt smell at all and it looks like it it is a reddish brown. So my question is can I add synthetic to what is in it? Also I can't find dexron 3
They had valvoline maxlife

As long as it is labelled ATF and not CHF11S you can use any ATF. Make sure it is fresh. I would pick one that is Dexron certified but only to make sure it is blended to some quality standard. It doesn't need to be synthetic. What is in there isn't, so no reason to mix types.
