How often should I change my Kia Sorento's transmission fluid?

I just bought a used Kia Sorento and I'm not sure when I should change the transmission fluid. It has 50,000 miles on it. Is it necessary to change it immediately or can I wait a bit longer?

Generally, it's recommended to change the transmission fluid every 30,000-60,000 miles. However, since your Kia Sorento has 50,000 miles, it's not urgent to change it right away. Keep an eye on the color and smell of the fluid and if it starts to look dark or smell burnt, it's time for a change.

It's always a good idea to follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule. According to Kia, the transmission fluid should be changed every 60,000 miles. So, you can wait a bit longer before changing it.

I would recommend changing the transmission fluid every 30,000-40,000 miles for optimal performance and longevity of your Kia Sorento. Don't wait until it starts to show signs of wear and tear. Prevention is always better than cure.
