Dude... Seriously, AWESOME video. Informative, helpful, and you don't skip 7 out of 10 steps like that useless Haynes manual I bought. Thank you for this.
Great video. Once you drain and refill the transmission oil running it for about one minute shifts the new oil into the transmission and torque converter and put the old untrained oil into the pan so when you drain it the second time you taking out old fluid. I figure your replacing a good 90% or more of the tranny fluid. I purchased from NAPA auto parts Idemitsu SPIV oil specifically made for Hyundai. This oil company makes a lot of Asian oil for Asian vehicles. This is better than a universal oil such as Valvoline which is compatable with Hyundai oils. This is definitely the oil to get. A lot cheaper than from the dealer for the same oil.
Sealed transmissions help to reduce the amount of “bad” transmission fluid being disposed of. Engineers have been charged with creating equipment to function longer, without necessarily redesigning the basic function.Jan 20, 2016
Great video. Is there any reason you couldn't add the fluid into the check hole with a manual pump? Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like that might be easier, at least for topping off if needed.
I didn't fill out my ATF oil through that plug Port you showed us. In the back of the engine there is a plug that looks just like the bottom drain plug and that's where I filled up my ATF with a pump. I don't think mine has a port plug between the air filter and the engine. I could be wrong.
Do you own an SX that comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine? If so, that is likely the reason for the alternate fill port location. How did you verify the fill port location?
@@protipsplus no I have an lx 2018 2.4l. I just looked at it, and I do have a fill port in front. But in the back of the transmission there is another plug that looks exactly like the bottom 22mm drain Plug. You can fill it there.
Yes, there is. This video provides tips for a DIY method to perform a mini flush that replaces about 70% of the old fluid without having to remove the transmission cover or filter.
The issue with the dry DCT 7 is due to a problem with the transmission's electric high-pressure oil pump. KIA has issued a recall for that issue. Contact your local dealer.
Please i would like to understand something what you mean by turning one engine for the last drain. Just one push start or turning on completely the engine during the last steps of drainage?
After the first drain and fill, turn the engine on and let it run for about one minute while shifting gears. This will mix the new fluid with the used fluid so that the second drain of fluid is about 50% used.
Unlike engine oil, the primary reason for changing transmission fluid is that it loses its ability to disapate heat. Overheating is the primary reason for transmission issues. I change filters when symptoms are present. Otherwise, I just drain and fill.
If you check the fluid level when the fluid is warm/hot it will be slightly low when the transmission is cool. I guess if you run the engine for less than 1 minute the fluid would still be cool. Caution - A running vehicle vibrates and may become unstable when lifted. Always back up your lift with a support. Also moving belts, pulleys, fans, and etc. also create hazards. Great comment. Let me know how it turns out.
Hi! I have a Kia Sportage 2017 manual diesel. 37000miles on clock. I want to change the transmission fluid. I have to follow this video for manual transmision as well?
Overall, the procedure is similar, but there are a few differences. 1. Gear fluid= 75w-90, 2. The gearbox is located beneath the shifter. You'll likely need a small oil pump and hose to fill the gearbox. See ua-cam.com/video/AyG9HeDfOKY/v-deo.html for tips. I plan to demo a Kia Soil this month
Hey man I have a lexus ls 430 n I got a code of po770 of my shift solenoid (E) I’ve called dealers n dealer to see where I can get it at n nothing at all also having comments saying they don’t know what solenoid it is because they have it as 1234 not by letters and I’m struggling to find it out it’s the timing shift solenoid I’m having troubles for it to be n drive or reverse I would need to rev to 4000 rpm’s for it to move

Just wanted to say thank you for making this could not find it anywhere
You're welcome. Let me know how it turns out.
Top notch video. Debating on doing mine with valvoline max Life. It meets or exceeds the SP-IV spec, but I kind of like OEM stuff.
Great video! I will be doing this work tomorrow for my 2017 Sportage. Thank you for the great details. Blessings!

A fluid level port because an old fashioned dipstick was too complicated for Kia to use on the Forte.

Unfortunately most new cars are going to this style. I think its to make maintenance more difficult so people either don't do it or pay the dealer.

@chrisjones6002 No reason, if you have a pump, you should use it.
@@protipsplus good to know, thanks.

Is there no oil filter in the gearbox that needs changing?
Yes, there is. This video provides tips for a DIY method to perform a mini flush that replaces about 70% of the old fluid without having to remove the transmission cover or filter.
is there a need to replace fluid transmision also for dry DCT 7 speed ? thanks

Im curious why u don’t replace filter ???

A kia tech told me the level should be checked running. I may be wrong though

See the comment added to 2003 LS430 mini flush video
Cheers mate
Is this essentially the same for AWD?
Yes. Great question.
