In this video I show you how to change the transmission fluid on a Hyundai Tucson 2016 and newer. This procedure also applies to most Hyundai and Kia vehicles with Automatic Transmissions. Any questions on the process, anything that is not clear or I didn't explain properly, just comment down below and I'll answer your questions.
Is it ok to send a dipstick through the fill hole of the transmission and check the level before draining the fluid? Make a permanent mark on the dipstick so i will know what level to refill up to with new fluid?
This video is amazing I’m a single mother of three trying to save money… You’ve saved me sooo much money. This video is thorough, to the point and visually informative. Thanks again New subscriber
Excellent video. Simpleton tips for the amateur. Socket sizes, how to check the level when finished, how tight stuff should be. Good camera work. Well spoken. All round spot on. Well done.
Great video. The only thing is the level should be checked with the engine running in neutral and the fluid should be hot 122-140 degrees (since transmission fluid expands with heat). Then open the side level plug and drain excess overfill. 10mm screws hold the bottom shield which has to be removed to get to the drain and level plugs.
Just put back what comes out, folks. Mine dropped 3.2 quarts. I used a 4qt pitcher from Walmart to measure. Most likely, it will be 3 to 4 quarts. I used a funel, and I had to push it down into the fill hole. For some reason, it would burp some back out the funel. I guess it was snug. I also cut out a square right below the drain plug. I don't advise doing this, but I'm too lazy to remove that cover. I will be doing this flush every August. I figure what is $25 vs. a new transmission. I used Valvoline max life multi transmission fluid. I contacted Valvoline, and they said the fluid meets all specs. Awesome video 📹 BTW. Thank you for saving me $160.
Great video, 2 suggestions. Show how to release the plastic rivets that hold the underbody and, fast forward during the fill process. Your explanation of measuring the amount removed and checking the fill level is absolutely correct!
1. What is the measurement of the mouth of the screw to pour the fluid into it? It is to buy that extension.. 2. Should the shift change be done with the vehicle stopped or should I run it and then verify?
That would be hard for me to measure since it's so far down in there, but I would say it is the same size as any transmission dipstick. The funnel I used is made to be inserted into a trans dipstick and it worked just fine. Any narrow funnel should fit. As for the shifting, it should be done with the vehicle stopped. Jack it up and just run through the gears before putting a load on it. Then you can check the level. Or you could take it out for a drive after doing the shifting and then bring it back and lift it up again, and check it again, but that just seems like a lot of wasted effort to me.
@@ModernDIYProjects ok, I think I explained myself wrong regarding the extension, I was referring to the head, if it is to give an example of 1/2, 1/4 etc... not the length of the piece...
In that case then the answer is simple. On the outside I believe it is a 19mm bolt pattern. On the inside it is a square pattern that accepts a 3/8" drive. So I used a long extension and just used the middle opening. Since it's plastic I thought it was a safer way to go. Any long extension will do the trick.
Can the transmission fluid be sucked out with a pump through the transmission refill plug so we don't have to go under the vehicle and remove the the bottom cover and jack it up and all the mess with removing the bolt?
You can do it that way but whats the point. You have to take the bottom off to check the fluid level anyway, so what do you gain doing it this way? If you don't check the level properly you will ruin your transmission.
After looking at the repair manual I have to change my answer. You cannot do it the way you want. If you try to insert a tube in the transmission through the fill hole, it wont go very far because you'll hit the valve body. It's like trying to drain the oil of the motor through the top of the motor (without using the dipstick hole). There are too many things in the way. Since this transmission has NO dipstick, there is no clear path all the way to the bottom of the pan. So at best you might drain a couple of ounces if any. So, no, you have to do it through the bottom drain the way that I showed in the video. There is no clear path to drain it otherwise.
Hyundai recommends at 60K for heavily used vehicles like Uber and Taxis, and 100K for normal use. I did this one at 100K and you can see how dirty it gets with normal use. I suggest to do it any time after 60K.
No need. This transmission does not have a traditional filter. It only has a metal screen for catching large particles. The only way to change that screen would be taking apart half the transmission housing. The best way to keep the transmission fluid clean is to change it more often.
@@ModernDIYProjectsif I want to keep the gearbox from being easily damaged, is there another way? in addition to changing the transmission oil on time.
If you are really concerned then you can change the oil twice as often as recommended. But I suggest that you do not open the transmission if you are not a professional. These are not meant to be opened without reason. More maintenance than a fluid change is not required.
@@ModernDIYProjects Yes, undamaged items do not need to be repaired. Just looking for alternatives to gearbox care. So Hyundai Tucson 2016 doesn't need to change the transmission oil filter? Has been in use for 6 years on a 90.000 kilometers journey.
150,000 Kilometers right? That means about 93,000 miles. Yeah that's not a problem. I changed this fluid at 100,000miles and you saw how dirty it is but it has not given me any problems since I did the fluid change. I see no problems with doing a fluid change on your car. I think it's a good idea at this point.
I have a 2019 AWD. Changed the transfer case and rear diff fluid at 45k for the hell of it. Really easy DYI. The fluid that came out was as clean as what I put in.
You can but not a good idea. I don't know if it may give you false readings. Hyundai recommends using the top opening in their manual and that is what I would suggest to use.
@ModernDIYProjects thanks for your response. A quick follow-up question. After doing the final checks, did you have to add any more fluid, or was there drainage through the overfill hole?
There was a bit of drainage so I closed it back up. I didn't want to loose too much so I stopped and closed it up. Since I measured exactly what came out, I knew that there was no room for waste.
One thing some automatic transmissions have fluid checked warmed up and engine running this is because some of the fluid is running through the torque converter and valve body that will drain down when the engine is off. This is essential to check to not underfill your transmission. I have done CVT and regular planetary automatics that have this procedure.
You probably have the 1.6L which does not have a traditional automatic transmission. What you have is a Dual Clutch transmission, which is technically a robot controlled manual transmission. To you it seems like an automatic, but in reality it is a manual transmission that is shifted by the on board computer. That is why it takes a different fluid.
Howdy, I would appreciate it very much if you could help me in the following situation. Is there anyone among you who has changed the oil in the Hyundai Tucson automatic transmission? Because the opinions are divided, the dealerships say they don't change, while other mechanics say they do. I decided to change it, especially after I opened the shield and noticed an older oil stain on the joints of the box. Now I don't know which exchange method is better, someone told me to simply change it using the classic method by pumping inside with a can or pump. But I also heard of the method where there is a special machine, which extracts the old oil, cleans the pinions and internal holes with a solution and then automatically puts in the new one. I don't know what oil to use, someone recommended TOP TEC MTF 5300 70w-75w. The car has 120,000 km and is a Hyundai Tucson Turbo-TGDI 2017, petrol 1.6 automatic with 7 steps, 130kw/177hp, double mechanical dry clutch. The questions would be: 1. If it changes? 2. What method is used for exchange? 3. And what type of oil is used? Thank you 🙂
Yes, because you need to be able to activate the ABS bleed system. You can try and see if it will work by simply pumping the brakes and adding fluid, but not sure if that will work.
Very well explained video 5 stars man. Can you do an older video of Tucson 2013 how to change the Transmission fluid. That’s be greatly appreciated my car has a bit over 177,000 miles should I change the fluid at this point?
Was any port open to allow air to escape while filling the transmission with fluid? I've seen some guys say it can bubble up and make a mess. Is that necessary?
Not necessary. I don't know why you would make a mess unless you poured it in too quickly. These transmissions are not filled to the top. Look at how low the level plug is on these things. They only take about half full so there is plenty of air in the transmission body for expansion. I didn't have any issues.
I had the problem getting it in without the level port open. I tried 2 different size funnel tip diameters and I was getting a splash back. I think the level port being open will allow for displacement of air and a smoother pour.
I misread your comment previously. I thought you wrote 2018. This video pertains exactly to a 2016, 2.0 Non Turbo Tucson. That is exactly the vehicle I used in the video. As I mentioned previously, all this information for your vehicle is listed at the end of the manual. Reread it. I have the same manual you do and mine has it. Only the 1.6 is a Dual Clutch.
What’s the steps for shifting through the gears after the fill up. Is it comparable to Honda where you go through them each for 3 seconds? N-r-d-1-2-d-n-r-p?
I have a 2016, 1.6 L Tucson. The manual states ATF capacity at 7.71 qts. The dealer parts counter guy told me it takes 4 qts and sold me Hyundai SAE 70 MTF. I questioned that and he reassured me that is the correct oil. Now I'm just confused.
Go back and reread the owners manual. You will notice that is gives you the quantities and fluid types for both the DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) and the Regular Transmission. Your 1.6L has the DCT. My 2.0L has a Regular Transmission, so things will be a bit different. Also the parts guy sold me 6 qts telling me that is what I needed and I only used 3.8qts, so go figure. I would say make sure that you have the correct fluid above all else. Secondly, if it makes you feel more comfortable just go buy more fluid and return it later if you don't need it. It's better than being short of fluid when you are doing the fluid change, because then you can't finish the job and the car wont run without the right amount of fluid. I kept the extra fluid I got for next time because I got it at a really good discount. Hyundai fluids are NOT cheap!

When checking the transmission fluid level at the level plug, does the engine need to be running to get an accurate level? I thought that it did so that the internal transmission pump was circulating fluid, but you mentioned that you checked it with the engine off. Excellent video!
These newer sealed transmissions you check with the engine OFF. You do not want the fluid circulating or sloshing around. You want to get a full level with static fluid, otherwise it will pump it out of the hole when you open it up. It's just like checking your engine oil. You do that with the engine OFF.
Go watch this video where I show you how to do an oil change on this Tucson. ruclips.net/video/o6oK3HMpElY/видео.html I have also done a Brake change video if you want to see that one also for when you need to do that.
I have a Hyundai tucson 2.0 L 2020 and I recently change transmission and put in about 5 qrts of hyundai brand oil, the mechanic told me that he could not check the fluid level. What i see from your video that you put only 4 qrts , so would be safe to assume that my transmission is not under filled ? Right?
You may be overfilled actually. What the Mechanic meant was "I don't want to bother checking the oil level". I explained in the video how to check the level so you can do that yourself with no special tools.
Hi I Liked the video but you should have shown the checking the level part. Mine took out 5qts so putting 5 back in and not sure how to check the level. But thanks so far
Hello, my girlfriends Kia sportage 1.6cdti automatic is over revving when changing gear and is very jerky. Was thinking a gearbox service will help. It's a 2018 model with 40k miles on the clock. Do you recommend just following this video or change the filter aswell (if the gearbox has one) I've seen other videos where they remove the whole sump?
The 1.6 may have a different transmission, I'm not certain. If you have 40K miles you should still be under warranty. Kia warranty is 60K on the entire vehicle, and 100K on the drive train including the transmission. But if you can't take in to the dealer for whatever reason, then doing a fluid change would not hurt. It could get rid of some contaminants and clutch material that may be causing problems. If it doesn't go away after a fluid change, then I would recommend taking it to a technician.
Ciao io ho un 2.0 awd 2018 automatico sound EDITION quindi anche io dovrei cambiarlo ha 100mila km . quindi il filtro non ce l'ha ! non bisogna togliere la coppa ? per finire di togliere l'olio vecchio o basta solo togliere e mettere uno nuovo ?
I wanted to change the transmission oil on my 2017 Tucson but was told by a service guy at the dealership it was not recommended or it could ruin it? It's a bit over 100K miles
Nonsense! Absolute rubbish! Whoever said that does not know what the heck he is talking about. Changing all the fluids in your car is basic maintenance. Now if you said you wanted to FLUSH the system, then I agree that is a bad idea. But a basic drain and fill is perfectly fine. I have done this to ALL my vehicles when needed and never had a problem. I have done this twice to my Toyota Rav4 with no issues. Has well over 150K and still going strong, and all original.
@@ModernDIYProjects thank you for that. When he said that I didn't understand why and was always doubtful. Thank you for this video! I will certainly use it!
That is a different type of oil used for that. the 1.6 has the Dual Clutch transmission. DO NOT use the same one that I did! You can call the dealer and they can tell you exactly which one you need. In fact I recommend getting the fluid from the dealer since these vehicles can be very sensitive to improper fluids. Other brands may be universal use and may not be exactly right for this vehicle.
I got my 2017 Tucson used around 90 something thousand miles. Around 110,000 I asked the guy at Valvoline about it and learned it was a sealed transmission which I had never experienced before and he told me they were different and lasted much longer so I didn’t need to worry about changing it until around 155,000 miles. I couldn’t really find anything online and now I’m almost there and my check engine light just came on randomly and now I get a sudden loss in power the first shift or 2 when beginning the drive. After that it works fine. Was the Valvoline guy wrong and I should’ve done it forever ago??
What that guy gave you was a lazy answer. The manufacturer tells you to change the fluids on your vehicles at longer intervals because it makes the vehicles sound cheaper to maintain and less hassle to own. They don't care, they want you to buy a new one when this one falls apart. The reality is that fluids need to be changed on a regular interval to maintain optimal performance and increase the life of your vehicle. That fluid should have been changed at around 100K. You can still do it now and hope that it clears up your problem. Also the term "Sealed Transmission" is a misnomer. In reality they are not sealed as you saw in the video and the fluid can be changed. The only thing is that they don't have a dipstick any longer and the measurement is a little more complicated. But they are definitely NOT sealed. Also be sure to change your motor oil frequently. The Variable valve timing on these vehicles is prone to complaining and acting up when the oil gets old and thinned. Change your oil around 3-4K to keep your engine healthy. I have another video on how to do an oil change on this Tucson on my channel page.
@@ModernDIYProjects woke up this morning with a check engine light. Took it to advance and it says “Unable to engage Gear 1”. Now I’m worried my transmission is going out but I’m hoping it just needs transmission fluid and it’ll be fine. I’m a full time college student who only can work 40 hours a month. I cannot buy a new car or a new transmission. I’ve got the oil change done every 3,000 and everything else checked but where I was ignorant to the “sealed” transmission I just took his word for it and now I’ve got the consequences
Don't worry yet. Just do the transmission fluid change and see if clearing out the old contaminants will help. If it helps and starts engaging again, then wait a few weeks and do another fluid change to clear out more junk. Use only the fluid from Hyundai. It's not cheap but don't trust aftermarket fluids to play nice in this transmission that is giving you problems. Hope for the best.
Great video. Got a 2017 Tucson AWD coming up on 70,000 miles. I’ve never done this service to it but want to. I’m curious though, the owner’s manual states that “no service required” under normal usage. I don’t tow anything so I’m sure I fall under the normal usage and not the severe which states to replace the fluid at 60,000 miles. So, should I change it or not? Thanks.
The short answer is YES you should change it at 60-70K miles. The Owners manual is full of BS and is not to be trusted. They don't care if your vehicle breaks down outside the warranty because then it's not their problem. If you want to get a long trouble free life out of your vehicle then you should do simple maintenance like this. Ask any mechanic and they will tell you that the manual is nothing more than marketing BS. They make it sound like the cars are just so great that you don't need any maintenance. They do this to make them look to be less expensive in the long run for folks that have no knowledge of cars. Do this simple maintenance and you will never regret it. Don't do it and you could have a very broken, and very expensive transmission repair. Simple as that!
@@ModernDIYProjects Thanks for the reply and feedback. I’ll be sure to follow your steps and get this done asap. One more thing, my Tucson owner’s manual shows Automatic transmission fluid and Echoshift dual clutch transmission fluid. Different capacities for each and different fluids for each. I’m a bit confused. Isn’t it one or the other? Or is there two fluids to change? Thanks again.
@@Mopar3.6LV6 Yes, it is one or the other. The manual was made to cover all the different versions of the Tucson. If you have the 1.6L Turbo, you probably have the Dual Clutch. That one will be a different fluid than the one I did. I have the NON-Turbo model so it has the Normal Automatic Transmission. You can look at the sticker under the hood with the vehicle specs and it will tell you if you have the 1.6L or the 2.0 or 2.4. You can also contact the dealer and give them your VIN and they can look it up for you and let you know which one you have.
@@ModernDIYProjects Thanks again for the reply. I know I have the 1.6L Turbo AWD. Would the transfer case be the same as the transmission? I see where there’s a drain bolt like in your video and a fill bolt right above it; a hex type bolt.
That I cannot say. In a traditional rear wheel, AWD system, the transfer case and transmission are two separate units, and may or may not have the same fluid. Depends on the manufacturer. I am not familiar with Front wheel drive based AWD systems. It may be integrated into the transaxle, I can't say. That is a separate video you will have to look up. I am only familiar with regular transmissions since I have never owned or worked on a front wheel AWD system.
I currently have hard shifting and the car jerks when I shift gears and I’m scared it could be the transmission what should I do? I took it to 2 different mechanics and they said it’s fine
If you have the Dual Clutch transmission, then that is normal. Dual Clutch transmissions are a Manual transmission that is shifted by the computer, it is NOT a real automatic. Manual Transmissions will shift harder. A real automatic transmission uses a fluid coupling system making the shifting much smoother. Check which transmission you have first before moving forward.
@@lovebirds7756 Look under the hood of your vehicle. It will have a sticker on the hood or fender that tells you the Engine and Transmission of your vehicle. All vehicles have this. You can also contact the dealer and give them your VIN and they can look it up for you.
Yes. The dealer sold me 7 quarts since that is what they said I would need. I only took out 4 qts and I double checked, so I only put back 4 qts. I kept the extra for next time since I got them at a good price. But yeah, I think the book is wrong on the amount because I couldn't squeeze more out of it if I wanted to.
Hay gente que dice que no hay que hacerlo. Si quieres que el coche te dure mucho tiempo, creo que merece la pena arriesgarse. Pero yo no soy mecánico profesional. Quizá quieras pedirle su opinión a un profesional. Si fuera mi coche, probablemente lo haría.
Actually, the transmission should never loose any fluid unless you have a leak. As you can see this one was dirty but not oily, meaning NO leak. The transmission is not like your engine oil. You never loose any fluid to the combustion process like you do with your engine oil. But if you are concerned, then all you have to do is the overflow test which I explained in the video. It would be easier with a dipstick, but they don't want you to mess with it. More money for them if you take it in to be serviced.
@@ModernDIYProjects oh i see. I find that surprising tho. Doesn't the transmission create friction and heat as does an engine? If so how come the transmission doesn't loose any fluid? Also , one other question. How much oil should a Tuscan engine or any engine for that matter burn engine oil? I noticed that after approximately 4000 miles since I last got my oil changed, I am below the "low" indicator line when I check my current oil levels. Does that seem normal to you? Also lastly. Is it ok to mix different brands and engine oils with different viscosity such as 5w 20 but I top off my engine with 5w 30 is that ok and doesn't cause any issues? Thank you so much!!
You misunderstand how the process works. These oils do not wear out or evaporate like water from friction or heat. They are created to tolerate extremes. The oil in the engine disppears because it escapes through the combustion chamber, not because it evaporates. It is literally burned off. The transmission doesn't do this. As far as much much oil you should loose between oil changes depends on how often you do an oil change. You should not loose any more than 1/2 qrt every 1500 miles. If you are loosing more than that then you are consuming or burning oil, and NO, NEVER mix different viscosity oils, that is a bad thing to do.
@@ModernDIYProjects I see. thanks for the clarification. You said how long ago also affects how low my engine oil level should be? I've had my last oil change in November last year. 4000 miles ago. And the oil level is below the 'low' mark on my dip stick. Does that seem like excessive oil burn for you? Thanks
Really hard to say. I would never let it go that far. At this point you start getting sludge build up and it's hard to say if the missing oil was burned off or became sludge inside the engine clogging up oil passages. I have one car that I do oil changes once a year and that is because I drive it less than 1K per year. So it seems crazy to change the oil every 500 miles in my case. But in your case I would change it at around 2K miles at least to prevent problems. The oil is the blood of the engine. If you plan to keep it, change it frequently. If you plan to dispose of it, then don't worry about it.
Great video. Thanks for doing this. Two questions: 1. Do you think transmission fluid flushing is required (as against draining and changing) sometime? 2. Is this SP4 transmission fluid from Hyundai a synthetic one or organic one? Thanks again...
Transmission flushing is an all around bad idea on a good transmission. That is something you do to try and salvage a bad transmission. Never do that on a good transmission or you could ruin it. It's like raking the muck at the bottom of a clear pond. You know the mess that makes. The SP4 is synthetic as are most if not all ATF fluids these days. Even my old 97 Dodge ATF Fluid was upgraded a few years back to be synthetic.
Thanks for sharing your video. I own 2018 Tucson and have about 75k miles on it with no issues so far. Planning to do this procedure in summer. I am thinking if i can fill the new fluid directly from level check plug instead of from top. This way I won’t need to remove anything from top. You see anything wrong in this approach?
I can't trust my oil pan to do the measuring because it's dirty and has other oil in it. So I'll go with adding 4 qts and seeing what pours out. So get to operating temperature then open the check valve? Looking for a slow dribble correct?
The procedure will be the same. The transmission should also be the same since Hyundai/Kia don't have a lot of transmissions to choose from. The fill and drain plugs may be in slightly different locations, but now that you know what they look like you should be able to find them. Just look around carefully. I don't have a manual for the Kona so I can't be more specific.
If you pull the plug where you check it then no fluid should come out correct because they should be at level respectfully asking first time attempting this
Just completed my flush yesterday did exactly as you instruct no problem but there was no washer on the drain plug and there was no leakage and I replaced it with four quarts which is what came out
I wish you would have asked me a couple of months ago. I just did it at the beginning of Summer. I do it once a year to keep it fresh. Can't dump out fresh coolant after only a couple of months. Tell you what, hit that Subscribe button and I'll make a coolant change video just for you next Summer.
@@ModernDIYProjects wow,this is very helpful. Can you please help me with my question? So, I drove my 2016 hundai Tucson AWD for 2 years and never changed oil transmission.

Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video. Simpleton tips for the amateur. Socket sizes, how to check the level when finished, how tight stuff should be. Good camera work. Well spoken. All round spot on. Well done.
Great video. The only thing is the level should be checked with the engine running in neutral and the fluid should be hot 122-140 degrees (since transmission fluid expands with heat). Then open the side level plug and drain excess overfill. 10mm screws hold the bottom shield which has to be removed to get to the drain and level plugs.
That was a great to for measuring the correct amount of fluid.
You’re awesome! Keep up the great work!
Just put back what comes out, folks. Mine dropped 3.2 quarts. I used a 4qt pitcher from Walmart to measure.
Most likely, it will be 3 to 4 quarts.
I used a funel, and I had to push it down into the fill hole. For some reason, it would burp some back out the funel. I guess it was snug.
I also cut out a square right below the drain plug. I don't advise doing this, but I'm too lazy to remove that cover. I will be doing this flush every August. I figure what is $25 vs. a new transmission. I used Valvoline max life multi transmission fluid. I contacted Valvoline, and they said the fluid meets all specs.
Awesome video 📹 BTW.
Thank you for saving me $160.
It "burped" cuz it didn't have air flow vent. Kinda like how gas cans have a vent on them
@cavyboy99 yes exactly
Well worth doing, though.
I added a little more because some splashed out.
Great video, 2 suggestions. Show how to release the plastic rivets that hold the underbody and, fast forward during the fill process. Your explanation of measuring the amount removed and checking the fill level is absolutely correct!
There are no plastic rivets for the under body cover. It's all held in with screws.
@@ModernDIYProjects There is one plastic nut on a metal stud at the front center. The rest are 10mm bolt though.
@@frederf3227 Yeah, I forgot about that one. Don't know why they put that odd ball there.
Thank you, I had a good time changing the oil with my dad.
Thank you so much for making this diy. Good job, well done
Good video n spokesman very clear n through.
1. What is the measurement of the mouth of the screw to pour the fluid into it? It is to buy that extension..
2. Should the shift change be done with the vehicle stopped or should I run it and then verify?
That would be hard for me to measure since it's so far down in there, but I would say it is the same size as any transmission dipstick. The funnel I used is made to be inserted into a trans dipstick and it worked just fine. Any narrow funnel should fit. As for the shifting, it should be done with the vehicle stopped. Jack it up and just run through the gears before putting a load on it. Then you can check the level. Or you could take it out for a drive after doing the shifting and then bring it back and lift it up again, and check it again, but that just seems like a lot of wasted effort to me.
@@ModernDIYProjects ok, I think I explained myself wrong regarding the extension, I was referring to the head, if it is to give an example of 1/2, 1/4 etc... not the length of the piece...
In that case then the answer is simple. On the outside I believe it is a 19mm bolt pattern. On the inside it is a square pattern that accepts a 3/8" drive. So I used a long extension and just used the middle opening. Since it's plastic I thought it was a safer way to go. Any long extension will do the trick.
@@ModernDIYProjects Excellent, Thanks...
Can the transmission fluid be sucked out with a pump through the transmission refill plug so we don't have to go under the vehicle and remove the the bottom cover and jack it up and all the mess with removing the bolt?
You can do it that way but whats the point. You have to take the bottom off to check the fluid level anyway, so what do you gain doing it this way? If you don't check the level properly you will ruin your transmission.
@@ModernDIYProjects just put back in the same amount that was sucked out.
After looking at the repair manual I have to change my answer. You cannot do it the way you want. If you try to insert a tube in the transmission through the fill hole, it wont go very far because you'll hit the valve body. It's like trying to drain the oil of the motor through the top of the motor (without using the dipstick hole). There are too many things in the way. Since this transmission has NO dipstick, there is no clear path all the way to the bottom of the pan. So at best you might drain a couple of ounces if any. So, no, you have to do it through the bottom drain the way that I showed in the video. There is no clear path to drain it otherwise.
When should I change my transmissions fluid changed. I have 2018 Tuscon at 40000 miles.
Hyundai recommends at 60K for heavily used vehicles like Uber and Taxis, and 100K for normal use. I did this one at 100K and you can see how dirty it gets with normal use. I suggest to do it any time after 60K.
Great video and thanks for sharing it
Hello.. can i ask how if i want to change the hyundai tucson 2.0 2016 transmission oil filter
No need. This transmission does not have a traditional filter. It only has a metal screen for catching large particles. The only way to change that screen would be taking apart half the transmission housing. The best way to keep the transmission fluid clean is to change it more often.
@@ModernDIYProjectsif I want to keep the gearbox from being easily damaged, is there another way? in addition to changing the transmission oil on time.
If you are really concerned then you can change the oil twice as often as recommended. But I suggest that you do not open the transmission if you are not a professional. These are not meant to be opened without reason. More maintenance than a fluid change is not required.
@@ModernDIYProjects Yes, undamaged items do not need to be repaired. Just looking for alternatives to gearbox care. So Hyundai Tucson 2016 doesn't need to change the transmission oil filter? Has been in use for 6 years on a 90.000 kilometers journey.
It does not have a filter so there is nothing to replace.
Hi i have a 2015 Hyundai Tucson it has 150,000km i dont think its had a transmission service. Should I change filter and oil?
150,000 Kilometers right? That means about 93,000 miles. Yeah that's not a problem. I changed this fluid at 100,000miles and you saw how dirty it is but it has not given me any problems since I did the fluid change. I see no problems with doing a fluid change on your car. I think it's a good idea at this point.
Excellent video- Thanks!
Thanks for this video. Do 2021 Hyundai tuscon have diff oil?
If you have 4 wheel drive you may have a rear differential with fluid that needs to be changed. Front wheel drive cars do not have that.
Thanks for responding so quickly. I didn’t see a rear diff so I felt confused I’ve always driven rear wheel drive vehicles. Lol
I have a 2019 AWD. Changed the transfer case and rear diff fluid at 45k for the hell of it. Really easy DYI. The fluid that came out was as clean as what I put in.
Could we also refill through the overflow opening?
You can but not a good idea. I don't know if it may give you false readings. Hyundai recommends using the top opening in their manual and that is what I would suggest to use.
@ModernDIYProjects thanks for your response. A quick follow-up question. After doing the final checks, did you have to add any more fluid, or was there drainage through the overfill hole?
There was a bit of drainage so I closed it back up. I didn't want to loose too much so I stopped and closed it up. Since I measured exactly what came out, I knew that there was no room for waste.
@@ModernDIYProjects thank you for your responses. Really appreciate this content
@@ModernDIYProjects just subscribed!
How do you put the plug back in? Mine snaped and i have a new one but not sure how to put it in without it breaking again
Where did you get the new crushed washer for the drain plug?
From the dealer when I got everything else.
There is a hole in the fill plug for some reason. What is the position of the hole ?
One thing some automatic transmissions have fluid checked warmed up and engine running this is because some of the fluid is running through the torque converter and valve body that will drain down when the engine is off. This is essential to check to not underfill your transmission. I have done CVT and regular planetary automatics that have this procedure.
Good work ❤
What about programing the transmission ate fluid change ?
Not required in this vehicle.
Hi do we need to change the transmission filter?
There is no filter in this transmission.
@@ModernDIYProjects thank you so much. How many quarts did you fill?
@@TDA879 About 4 qts
There no oil filter?? Thanks!
Correct. There is no transmission filter.
@@ModernDIYProjects thanks a Lot!
Our 2016 eco tucson uses the SAE 70W transmission fluid. It only uses 2 quarts.
You probably have the 1.6L which does not have a traditional automatic transmission. What you have is a Dual Clutch transmission, which is technically a robot controlled manual transmission. To you it seems like an automatic, but in reality it is a manual transmission that is shifted by the on board computer. That is why it takes a different fluid.
Is yours a eco and sport?
Automatic and gear switching?
Howdy,
I would appreciate it very much if you could help me in the following situation.
Is there anyone among you who has changed the oil in the Hyundai Tucson automatic transmission? Because the opinions are divided, the dealerships say they don't change, while other mechanics say they do.
I decided to change it, especially after I opened the shield and noticed an older oil stain on the joints of the box.
Now I don't know which exchange method is better, someone told me to simply change it using the classic method by pumping inside with a can or pump. But I also heard of the method where there is a special machine, which extracts the old oil, cleans the pinions and internal holes with a solution and then automatically puts in the new one.
I don't know what oil to use, someone recommended TOP TEC MTF 5300 70w-75w.
The car has 120,000 km and is a Hyundai Tucson Turbo-TGDI 2017, petrol 1.6 automatic with 7 steps, 130kw/177hp, double mechanical dry clutch.
The questions would be:
1. If it changes?
2. What method is used for exchange?
3. And what type of oil is used?
Thank you 🙂
do you have the link for the funnel??
Sorry no. I got that funnel over 20 years ago. I'm sure you can find something similar at Walmart or any Auto Parts store.
Do you need a scanner tool to bleed brakes if your doing a brake flush? Thanks
Yes, because you need to be able to activate the ABS bleed system. You can try and see if it will work by simply pumping the brakes and adding fluid, but not sure if that will work.
Really appreciate the info and response. I subbed awhile back.
Ok what about the transmission filter?
Very well explained video 5 stars man. Can you do an older video of Tucson 2013 how to change the Transmission fluid. That’s be greatly appreciated my car has a bit over 177,000 miles should I change the fluid at this point?
Yes, change it. You are way passed the change interval. You will see how dirty it is when you change it.
Was any port open to allow air to escape while filling the transmission with fluid? I've seen some guys say it can bubble up and make a mess. Is that necessary?
Not necessary. I don't know why you would make a mess unless you poured it in too quickly. These transmissions are not filled to the top. Look at how low the level plug is on these things. They only take about half full so there is plenty of air in the transmission body for expansion. I didn't have any issues.
I had the problem getting it in without the level port open. I tried 2 different size funnel tip diameters and I was getting a splash back. I think the level port being open will allow for displacement of air and a smoother pour.
2018 here. Is it worth the money to replace the transmission filter?
It does not have a filter to replace so you don't need to worry
How about the transmission filter ?
These do not have a filter.
Would this instruction video apply to 2.0 non turbo 2016 Hyundai Tucson also? I was told to use Dual Clutch Transmission fluid
I misread your comment previously. I thought you wrote 2018. This video pertains exactly to a 2016, 2.0 Non Turbo Tucson. That is exactly the vehicle I used in the video. As I mentioned previously, all this information for your vehicle is listed at the end of the manual. Reread it. I have the same manual you do and mine has it. Only the 1.6 is a Dual Clutch.
What’s the steps for shifting through the gears after the fill up. Is it comparable to Honda where you go through them each for 3 seconds? N-r-d-1-2-d-n-r-p?
There isn't anything specific noted in the manual. It doesn't seem to matter how you do it as long as you allow time for the fluid to flow freely.
I have a 2016, 1.6 L Tucson. The manual states ATF capacity at 7.71 qts. The dealer parts counter guy told me it takes 4 qts and sold me Hyundai SAE 70 MTF. I questioned that and he reassured me that is the correct oil. Now I'm just confused.
Go back and reread the owners manual. You will notice that is gives you the quantities and fluid types for both the DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) and the Regular Transmission. Your 1.6L has the DCT. My 2.0L has a Regular Transmission, so things will be a bit different. Also the parts guy sold me 6 qts telling me that is what I needed and I only used 3.8qts, so go figure. I would say make sure that you have the correct fluid above all else. Secondly, if it makes you feel more comfortable just go buy more fluid and return it later if you don't need it. It's better than being short of fluid when you are doing the fluid change, because then you can't finish the job and the car wont run without the right amount of fluid. I kept the extra fluid I got for next time because I got it at a really good discount. Hyundai fluids are NOT cheap!
Is your transmission DCT
Good video.
Maybe show how to remove the air box, and fast forward the refill time.
Thanks

When checking the transmission fluid level at the level plug, does the engine need to be running to get an accurate level? I thought that it did so that the internal transmission pump was circulating fluid, but you mentioned that you checked it with the engine off. Excellent video!
These newer sealed transmissions you check with the engine OFF. You do not want the fluid circulating or sloshing around. You want to get a full level with static fluid, otherwise it will pump it out of the hole when you open it up. It's just like checking your engine oil. You do that with the engine OFF.
I have a question, my friend Where is the oil filter and how is it changed?
Go watch this video where I show you how to do an oil change on this Tucson. ruclips.net/video/o6oK3HMpElY/видео.html
I have also done a Brake change video if you want to see that one also for when you need to do that.
I have a Hyundai tucson 2.0 L 2020 and I recently change transmission and put in about 5 qrts of hyundai brand oil, the mechanic told me that he could not check the fluid level. What i see from your video that you put only 4 qrts , so would be safe to assume that my transmission is not under filled ? Right?
You may be overfilled actually. What the Mechanic meant was "I don't want to bother checking the oil level". I explained in the video how to check the level so you can do that yourself with no special tools.
How often should I change the gearbox oil for my tuscon 2018? Also, the car has been parked for two years and it only had 15,000m on it. Thank you
Hyundai recommends 90 000 km, don't ask me what that is in Miles lol
@@DJessyJames Just FYI, 90K KM is 55,924.407 miles. Thats fairly often.
Hi I Liked the video but you should have shown the checking the level part. Mine took out 5qts so putting 5 back in and not sure how to check the level. But thanks so far
Watch the video again. I explain the entire process of how to check your level.
Hello, my girlfriends Kia sportage 1.6cdti automatic is over revving when changing gear and is very jerky. Was thinking a gearbox service will help. It's a 2018 model with 40k miles on the clock. Do you recommend just following this video or change the filter aswell (if the gearbox has one) I've seen other videos where they remove the whole sump?
The 1.6 may have a different transmission, I'm not certain. If you have 40K miles you should still be under warranty. Kia warranty is 60K on the entire vehicle, and 100K on the drive train including the transmission. But if you can't take in to the dealer for whatever reason, then doing a fluid change would not hurt. It could get rid of some contaminants and clutch material that may be causing problems. If it doesn't go away after a fluid change, then I would recommend taking it to a technician.
Does it need transmission filter change?
These do not have a filter to replace.
Ciao io ho un 2.0 awd 2018 automatico sound EDITION quindi anche io dovrei cambiarlo ha 100mila km . quindi il filtro non ce l'ha ! non bisogna togliere la coppa ? per finire di togliere l'olio vecchio o basta solo togliere e mettere uno nuovo ?
I wanted to change the transmission oil on my 2017 Tucson but was told by a service guy at the dealership it was not recommended or it could ruin it? It's a bit over 100K miles
Nonsense! Absolute rubbish! Whoever said that does not know what the heck he is talking about. Changing all the fluids in your car is basic maintenance. Now if you said you wanted to FLUSH the system, then I agree that is a bad idea. But a basic drain and fill is perfectly fine. I have done this to ALL my vehicles when needed and never had a problem. I have done this twice to my Toyota Rav4 with no issues. Has well over 150K and still going strong, and all original.
@@ModernDIYProjects thank you for that. When he said that I didn't understand why and was always doubtful. Thank you for this video! I will certainly use it!
Will that little extra make a difference respectfully asking
No difference at all.
Do you know what type of ATF i have to use for a Hyundai Tucson 2018 1.6T ?
That is a different type of oil used for that. the 1.6 has the Dual Clutch transmission. DO NOT use the same one that I did! You can call the dealer and they can tell you exactly which one you need. In fact I recommend getting the fluid from the dealer since these vehicles can be very sensitive to improper fluids. Other brands may be universal use and may not be exactly right for this vehicle.
I got my 2017 Tucson used around 90 something thousand miles. Around 110,000 I asked the guy at Valvoline about it and learned it was a sealed transmission which I had never experienced before and he told me they were different and lasted much longer so I didn’t need to worry about changing it until around 155,000 miles. I couldn’t really find anything online and now I’m almost there and my check engine light just came on randomly and now I get a sudden loss in power the first shift or 2 when beginning the drive. After that it works fine. Was the Valvoline guy wrong and I should’ve done it forever ago??
What that guy gave you was a lazy answer. The manufacturer tells you to change the fluids on your vehicles at longer intervals because it makes the vehicles sound cheaper to maintain and less hassle to own. They don't care, they want you to buy a new one when this one falls apart. The reality is that fluids need to be changed on a regular interval to maintain optimal performance and increase the life of your vehicle. That fluid should have been changed at around 100K. You can still do it now and hope that it clears up your problem. Also the term "Sealed Transmission" is a misnomer. In reality they are not sealed as you saw in the video and the fluid can be changed. The only thing is that they don't have a dipstick any longer and the measurement is a little more complicated. But they are definitely NOT sealed. Also be sure to change your motor oil frequently. The Variable valve timing on these vehicles is prone to complaining and acting up when the oil gets old and thinned. Change your oil around 3-4K to keep your engine healthy. I have another video on how to do an oil change on this Tucson on my channel page.
@@ModernDIYProjects woke up this morning with a check engine light. Took it to advance and it says “Unable to engage Gear 1”. Now I’m worried my transmission is going out but I’m hoping it just needs transmission fluid and it’ll be fine. I’m a full time college student who only can work 40 hours a month. I cannot buy a new car or a new transmission. I’ve got the oil change done every 3,000 and everything else checked but where I was ignorant to the “sealed” transmission I just took his word for it and now I’ve got the consequences
Don't worry yet. Just do the transmission fluid change and see if clearing out the old contaminants will help. If it helps and starts engaging again, then wait a few weeks and do another fluid change to clear out more junk. Use only the fluid from Hyundai. It's not cheap but don't trust aftermarket fluids to play nice in this transmission that is giving you problems. Hope for the best.
Great video. Got a 2017 Tucson AWD coming up on 70,000 miles. I’ve never done this service to it but want to. I’m curious though, the owner’s manual states that “no service required” under normal usage. I don’t tow anything so I’m sure I fall under the normal usage and not the severe which states to replace the fluid at 60,000 miles. So, should I change it or not? Thanks.
The short answer is YES you should change it at 60-70K miles. The Owners manual is full of BS and is not to be trusted. They don't care if your vehicle breaks down outside the warranty because then it's not their problem. If you want to get a long trouble free life out of your vehicle then you should do simple maintenance like this. Ask any mechanic and they will tell you that the manual is nothing more than marketing BS. They make it sound like the cars are just so great that you don't need any maintenance. They do this to make them look to be less expensive in the long run for folks that have no knowledge of cars. Do this simple maintenance and you will never regret it. Don't do it and you could have a very broken, and very expensive transmission repair. Simple as that!
@@ModernDIYProjects Thanks for the reply and feedback. I’ll be sure to follow your steps and get this done asap. One more thing, my Tucson owner’s manual shows Automatic transmission fluid and Echoshift dual clutch transmission fluid. Different capacities for each and different fluids for each. I’m a bit confused. Isn’t it one or the other? Or is there two fluids to change? Thanks again.
@@Mopar3.6LV6 Yes, it is one or the other. The manual was made to cover all the different versions of the Tucson. If you have the 1.6L Turbo, you probably have the Dual Clutch. That one will be a different fluid than the one I did. I have the NON-Turbo model so it has the Normal Automatic Transmission. You can look at the sticker under the hood with the vehicle specs and it will tell you if you have the 1.6L or the 2.0 or 2.4. You can also contact the dealer and give them your VIN and they can look it up for you and let you know which one you have.
@@ModernDIYProjects Thanks again for the reply. I know I have the 1.6L Turbo AWD. Would the transfer case be the same as the transmission? I see where there’s a drain bolt like in your video and a fill bolt right above it; a hex type bolt.
That I cannot say. In a traditional rear wheel, AWD system, the transfer case and transmission are two separate units, and may or may not have the same fluid. Depends on the manufacturer. I am not familiar with Front wheel drive based AWD systems. It may be integrated into the transaxle, I can't say. That is a separate video you will have to look up. I am only familiar with regular transmissions since I have never owned or worked on a front wheel AWD system.
Where did you buy the transmission oil from ?
The dealer
I currently have hard shifting and the car jerks when I shift gears and I’m scared it could be the transmission what should I do? I took it to 2 different mechanics and they said it’s fine
If you have the Dual Clutch transmission, then that is normal. Dual Clutch transmissions are a Manual transmission that is shifted by the computer, it is NOT a real automatic. Manual Transmissions will shift harder. A real automatic transmission uses a fluid coupling system making the shifting much smoother. Check which transmission you have first before moving forward.
@@ModernDIYProjects honestly I have no idea which one I have how do I know ?
@@lovebirds7756 Look under the hood of your vehicle. It will have a sticker on the hood or fender that tells you the Engine and Transmission of your vehicle. All vehicles have this. You can also contact the dealer and give them your VIN and they can look it up for you.
Did you only use 4 quarts? My 2018 Tucson (2.0) requires 7.3 quarts.
Yes. The dealer sold me 7 quarts since that is what they said I would need. I only took out 4 qts and I double checked, so I only put back 4 qts. I kept the extra for next time since I got them at a good price. But yeah, I think the book is wrong on the amount because I couldn't squeeze more out of it if I wanted to.
I think the procedure needs to be done 2 times...that is why 7+ qrts or liters. Do you have the manual?

Hay gente que dice que no hay que hacerlo. Si quieres que el coche te dure mucho tiempo, creo que merece la pena arriesgarse. Pero yo no soy mecánico profesional. Quizá quieras pedirle su opinión a un profesional. Si fuera mi coche, probablemente lo haría.
Will this work on a 2020 model
It should.
Is that really accurate? Doesn't the transmission loose some during the course of ownership by the time you change out the fluid?
Actually, the transmission should never loose any fluid unless you have a leak. As you can see this one was dirty but not oily, meaning NO leak. The transmission is not like your engine oil. You never loose any fluid to the combustion process like you do with your engine oil. But if you are concerned, then all you have to do is the overflow test which I explained in the video. It would be easier with a dipstick, but they don't want you to mess with it. More money for them if you take it in to be serviced.
@@ModernDIYProjects oh i see. I find that surprising tho. Doesn't the transmission create friction and heat as does an engine? If so how come the transmission doesn't loose any fluid?
Also , one other question. How much oil should a Tuscan engine or any engine for that matter burn engine oil? I noticed that after approximately 4000 miles since I last got my oil changed, I am below the "low" indicator line when I check my current oil levels. Does that seem normal to you?
Also lastly. Is it ok to mix different brands and engine oils with different viscosity such as 5w 20 but I top off my engine with 5w 30 is that ok and doesn't cause any issues? Thank you so much!!
You misunderstand how the process works. These oils do not wear out or evaporate like water from friction or heat. They are created to tolerate extremes. The oil in the engine disppears because it escapes through the combustion chamber, not because it evaporates. It is literally burned off. The transmission doesn't do this.
As far as much much oil you should loose between oil changes depends on how often you do an oil change. You should not loose any more than 1/2 qrt every 1500 miles. If you are loosing more than that then you are consuming or burning oil, and NO, NEVER mix different viscosity oils, that is a bad thing to do.
@@ModernDIYProjects I see. thanks for the clarification. You said how long ago also affects how low my engine oil level should be? I've had my last oil change in November last year. 4000 miles ago. And the oil level is below the 'low' mark on my dip stick. Does that seem like excessive oil burn for you? Thanks
Really hard to say. I would never let it go that far. At this point you start getting sludge build up and it's hard to say if the missing oil was burned off or became sludge inside the engine clogging up oil passages. I have one car that I do oil changes once a year and that is because I drive it less than 1K per year. So it seems crazy to change the oil every 500 miles in my case. But in your case I would change it at around 2K miles at least to prevent problems. The oil is the blood of the engine. If you plan to keep it, change it frequently. If you plan to dispose of it, then don't worry about it.
sorry How many litter oil 2015 Hyundai i40 gearbox need?
Great video. Thanks for doing this.
Two questions:
1. Do you think transmission fluid flushing is required (as against draining and changing) sometime?
2. Is this SP4 transmission fluid from Hyundai a synthetic one or organic one?
Thanks again...
Transmission flushing is an all around bad idea on a good transmission. That is something you do to try and salvage a bad transmission. Never do that on a good transmission or you could ruin it. It's like raking the muck at the bottom of a clear pond. You know the mess that makes. The SP4 is synthetic as are most if not all ATF fluids these days. Even my old 97 Dodge ATF Fluid was upgraded a few years back to be synthetic.
Thanks. That helps.
I find some comments at places about SP4 not being fully synthetic. But then that's not validated..
Thanks for sharing your video. I own 2018 Tucson and have about 75k miles on it with no issues so far. Planning to do this procedure in summer. I am thinking if i can fill the new fluid directly from level check plug instead of from top. This way I won’t need to remove anything from top. You see anything wrong in this approach?
That’s a good question.
How many miles on the car?
At that time around 120K

Anyone notice how unusual that transmission pan is? The bolts are all around the perimeter and not the bottom.
Because this transmission opens to the side not the bottom. You never have to remove this pan.

I can't trust my oil pan to do the measuring because it's dirty and has other oil in it. So I'll go with adding 4 qts and seeing what pours out. So get to operating temperature then open the check valve? Looking for a slow dribble correct?
Correct, you got that right on the nose.
Hi... thanks for this. Do you know if this applies to a 2021 Hyundai Kona and have any idea as to where the fill plug is for this make and model?
The procedure will be the same. The transmission should also be the same since Hyundai/Kia don't have a lot of transmissions to choose from. The fill and drain plugs may be in slightly different locations, but now that you know what they look like you should be able to find them. Just look around carefully. I don't have a manual for the Kona so I can't be more specific.
I believe The Kona has a cvt transmission so the process will be different
If you pull the plug where you check it then no fluid should come out correct because they should be at level respectfully asking first time attempting this
Yes, but if a little fluid comes out, that is fine. A little over the fill line is OK.
Just completed my flush yesterday did exactly as you instruct no problem but there was no washer on the drain plug and there was no leakage and I replaced it with four quarts which is what came out
Used overfil hole to refill mine using a small qt bottle hand pump I got off a mm amazon
Thank you!!!

So you forgot the drain plug once, you say 😂
Why do you sound like Seth Rogen?
That was some dirty oil you drained out.
Yes it was, but at 100K its about right.
When a manufacturer states lifetime fluid, they mean about 150K miles.
That would be the MAX for sure. It never hurts to do it earlier than that.
Is this apply also in Hyundai tucson 2021
