How to check the transmission fluid in a Kia Sorento?

I just bought a used Kia Sorento and I want to make sure the transmission fluid levels are correct. How do I check the transmission fluid and what should the levels be at?

You can easily check the transmission fluid levels by using the dipstick located next to the engine. Make sure the car is on a flat surface and the engine is warm before checking. The fluid levels should be between the 'Hot' and 'Cold' marks on the dipstick.

Another important thing to note is the color and smell of the transmission fluid. If the fluid is a dark color or has a burnt smell, it may be time for a transmission flush or replacement.

If you notice any leaks or if the fluid levels are consistently low, it's best to get your Kia Sorento checked by a professional mechanic. Low transmission fluid levels can lead to serious damage if not addressed.
