is it safe to support the car with axle stands on that area? i was under the impression that the car is only to be supported from the pinch welds thanks to its unibody construction?
From the body strength point of view yes, it is heavy compression molded body sheet metal part, so it has enough load-carying capacity. It is not so good because of potential anti corrosion layer harm and because it was supported nearly at the end of the body - it could slip. It was done because of shape of the 6T jack stands. If you can, support it at the pinch welds.
@@hamidbelhachmi8756 not sure about this, I think in the video itself I do show the specs from the service book of this vehicle. But anyway, I would try to go with your oil and if it's not right, you will notice by slightly worse shifting in the first gear. Then you can maybe shift to ATF...
Good and Informative Video.
Keep it up and Do an I20 Diesel Swap too.
Thank you
I sold the car and don't thik I will come across an i20 diesel. Anyway if I had to do that, I expect it would be quite similar.

Good job . What's the oil reference ?
Hi hamid, thanks. I put in there an ATF oil, works well. Hyundai gave me different specs, so...
@@REBUILDLab thanks for the reaction . I have i20/ 1,25 / 2017 . Can i put the gear oil 75w80 syntetic ?

How many kilometer ?
It was changed due to an accident, there was a hole in the gearbox. It had about 50.000 km.
