When should I change the transmission fluid in my Kia Stonic?

I've heard mixed opinions on when to change the transmission fluid in my Kia Stonic. Some say every 30,000 miles, others say every 60,000 miles. What is the recommended interval and why?

The recommended interval for changing the transmission fluid in your Kia Stonic is every 60,000 miles. This ensures that the fluid is still effective in lubricating and cooling the transmission components. However, if you frequently engage in heavy-duty driving such as towing or off-roading, it is recommended to change the fluid every 30,000 miles.

Changing the transmission fluid may seem like an added expense, but it can prolong the life of your Kia Stonic's transmission. Plus, it's a good idea to check the fluid level and condition at regular intervals in between changes to catch any potential issues early.

If you notice any changes in your Kia Stonic's shifting or unusual noises coming from the transmission, it's best to get the fluid checked and changed if necessary. It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your vehicle's transmission.
