What does the Kia Sportage transmission fluid do?

I'm curious about the purpose of transmission fluid in my Kia Sportage. What does it do and how often does it need to be changed?

Transmission fluid lubricates and cools the moving parts in your Kia Sportage's transmission system, keeping it running smoothly and preventing damage.

It also helps clean and protect the internal components of the transmission, increasing its longevity.

You should typically change your Kia Sportage's transmission fluid every 30,000-60,000 miles or as recommended in your owner's manual.

Regularly changing your transmission fluid can save you from costly repairs down the line.
