Transmission fluid?

[SneakerB]

I cant seem to find anything on transmission fluid and what kind i can use? And yes i know it says it says no service required! But also says 60k miles for severe conditions. Can anyone tell me what fluid i can use?

Check your owners manual, I think the Transmission Fluid is listed in there.

I guess the dealership uses

Valvoline MaxLife Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid Multi-Vehicle 1 Gallon​

My manual says 9.2 liters of this stuff.

That is what i am using in mine. It meets kia requirements.

They're not a lot of options for sp-iv rr fluid.

They're not a lot of options for sp-iv rr fluid.

We have this one in OZ but it doesn’t mention rr, so I wonder if there is a difference.

They are different fluids. I don't know what the difference is, but i would make sure it has RR at the end.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, if it doesn’t match exactly I wouldn’t use it.

I'm having my fluid replaced with Valvoline

MULTI-VEHICLE (ATF) FULL SYNTHETIC AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID​

The product information sheet recommends it compatible with Hyundai/Kia SP-IV-RR

It is compatible with sp-iv, but not sp-iv-rr. Unless i missed something.

Their spec sheet shows it's compatible with SP-IV-RR.

Here is a link to the Service Manual: https://www.kstinger.com/fluid-508.html
Fill the automatic transmission with about 7.0 L of ATF SP-IV-RR through the ATF filler hole.

This implies that it is not a shade-tree mechanic job to do.

I don't see why a competent shadetree couldn't do it. See here:

I just bought the pan/filter for $110+tax off ebay. I'm going with this ATF, which meets SP-IV RR standard, listed on the back of the bottle:

https://www.amazon.com/Valvoline-Protection-Synthetic-Automatic-Transmission/dp/B0C1LKVDWR

2 gallons should be plenty for the 7 L refill. $70+tax.
