I recently bought a used Kia Sorento and I'm wondering if I should get a transmission flush as part of regular maintenance. I've heard differing opinions on whether it's necessary. What do you recommend?
ReplyIt's generally recommended to get a transmission flush every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on the age and condition of your vehicle. I suggest checking your owner's manual for specific guidelines.
If you've noticed any issues with your transmission, such as shifting delays or strange noises, a flush may be necessary regardless of mileage. It's always better to be safe than sorry, so I would recommend getting it looked at by a professional.
Some experts argue that a transmission flush can actually do more harm than good, especially for older vehicles. It's important to weigh the potential benefits against the risks before making a decision. I suggest consulting with a trusted mechanic who has experience with Kia Sorentos.
