The best and only fluid you should use is exactly what Kia recommends and nothing else. Look in your owners manual or call your local Kia dealer.
when should transmission fluid be changed in a 2006 kia spectra
ATF
There is some confusion on what fluid to use in the 2003 KIA Spectra. The correct fluid is Special Lubricant Fluid (SLF). Do not use Dexron or any other fluid. Go to your local KIA dealer and purchase the fluid or have them change the transmission fluid. Using any other fluid may harm your transmission.
probably a good idea the gearbox is very tetchy regarding transmission fluid
Kia has their own transmission fluid that is recommended for their cars. You can get transmission fluid for the Optima at any Kia dealer.
Right in the dipstick hole. Get a small funnel and add fluid little at a time. Be careful, slightly low fluid is better than overfilled
How do you check manual transmission fluid KIA sophia
Remove fill plug on transmission, followed by the drain plug. After the fluid has completely drained, reinstall the drain plug and fill with 2.25 quarts of 75w85 manual transmission fluid (or 75w90) USE API GL-4
No, because every year of Kia has an entirely different engines and transmissions. A 99 Sephia, 01 Spectra, or 05 Spectra engine or transmission will work fine.
