I've heard that the transmission fluid in a Kia Sorento needs to be changed regularly, but I'm not sure how often and what type of fluid to use. Can you please provide some guidance on how to properly maintain the transmission fluid in my Kia Sorento?
ReplyAs a general rule, it's recommended to change the transmission fluid every 30,000 miles or every 2-3 years, whichever comes first. You should also check the fluid level and condition every few months, especially if you do a lot of towing or driving in stop-and-go traffic. As for the type of fluid, always refer to your owner's manual to ensure you are using the correct type and grade for your specific Kia Sorento model.
If you want to be extra cautious, you can opt to change the transmission fluid every 20,000 miles or every year. This will ensure that your transmission stays in top condition and can prevent any potential problems down the road. Make sure to use high-quality fluid that meets Kia's specifications for your Sorento.
Not changing the transmission fluid regularly can lead to serious issues and even damage to your transmission. If you're unsure of how to change the fluid yourself, it's always best to take your Kia Sorento to a trusted mechanic or dealership for the service. It's a small investment that can save you from costly repairs in the future.
