As per the manual of '14-'18 Tuscon and Sonata, the manual calls for fluid *change* and this process seems like a flush which is not called for. But I am no expert so maybe I am interpreting this situation wrong and I would love to hear your feedback if you know more than me on this which is likely. I thought a tranny fluid change is drain it then refill it?
I filled the ATF from the top because my transfer fluid pump did not work. I put in the same amount that was drained. To prevent air bubbles from causing the ATF to leak out, I disconnected one of the transmission cooler hoses.
@@optimummind Just did this today on my 18 elantra.All good so far. Got about 3.5 quarts out. Put the same amount back in. Fairly easy Job. Will definitely do a second one as my orogonal fluid was fairly dark. Not nearly as bad as i thought it be though at 90k miles. Still had a shade of red while draining which was surprising.
That's because Hyundai claims it doesn't have to be changed on these vehicles unless you fall under their "severe usage" criteria, in which case it's every 60k miles. That would explain why it's not in the manual. I'll copy and paste their actual service bulletin for you here: (Hyundai) ATF of 6 speed automatic transaxle doesn't need to be replaced. But, if the vehicle is severe use or business use, replace ATF every 60,000 miles for severe usage. Severe usage is defined as Driving in rough road (Bumpy, Gravel, Snowy, Unpaved road, etc) Driving in mountain road, ascent/descent Repetition of short distance driving More than 50% operation in heavy city traffic during hot weather above 32°C(89.6°F). Police, Taxi, Commercial type operation or trailer towing, etc
@@ravendeberry6645 I bought the car in 2019 with 125k on it already. It was a salesperson car I guess. I suppose we do a lot of driving too, carting the kids all over creation, LOL.
Is this a fluid change or a pump/flush? Hyundai manual makes it very clear you REPLACE the fluid of the tranny and coolant there is no flushing or pumping. But I know nothing about mechanics so correct me if I'm wrong here about whether pumping material thru a tranny is not a flush
What a great video on the process, not only giving the steps but providing bolt sizes and fluid capacities. Thanks
You are the first person I've seen to do it right.

@@gotacallfromvishalflush is the act of pressure pushing it out. The drained this then refilling it ! It was done correctly !
@@garrettherberg2237 good to know thanks!

how did this hold up. im planning to just add the same amount back in as i dont have access to a lift
@@giantzfan247 It's good. The shifts are smooth and nothing sounds unusual or weird.

How often do you change the transmission fluid on your vehicle? Cant find anything on transmission fluid change on the service manual.
Basically every 30,000-40,000.

What temperature is considered operating temperature?
Appreciate the video. My 17 Sonata has 200k miles and has been pretty trouble free. I will be doing this soon.
You must do alot of driving because how does a 17 have 200k miles I just hit 100k. Daily driver about 40 miles a day more or less

@@airman6822 oh okay makes sense
So you didn't fill it until a steady stream of fluid comes out the fill hole?
Yea, sorry, the lighting was not the best. It's starting to overflow at 2:50 but I think I cut some of the video out when editing.
Did you have to remove any of the shielding to get to the bolts?
Yes you do.
Which parts did you need to perform this service?

This is just a fluid drain and fill, not a flush.
@@brenth7774 Thanks!
How many liter change oil transmission of hyundai veloster 2015 sir?
I'm not 100% sure on that one, I no longer have the Hyundai but this one was specific to this transmission on the Sonata.
How about a 2016 Tucson?
are you able to change the filter as well? thx
It’s a sealed transmission so in order to do so you’d literally have to take the entire transmission apart is what I’m told
Not without opening the transmission entirely.. so nope
Probably easier to fill from the top, open the overflow drain.
You still have to check the level so it makes sense to just fill that way also, you're already there anyway to drain it.
Harbor Freight fluid pump one gallon goes in.
