I have a Hyundai Accent 2003.
http://www.accent-club.ru/club/accent_manual.pdf
The manual says
F070E03A-AAT
"Use HYUNDAI ATF SP-II M or GENUINE DIAMOND ATF SPII M when adding or changing fluid."
This thread lists my driving habits and the driving conditions (tl;dr: hard and fast, hills, stop and go, highways, and average 20F temperatures in wet snow and thick ice):

Don't know when the last time the fluid was changed. Only going to have the 2003 Hyundai Accent until around June and buy any old Honda manual to practice with, then get a 2003 or later Honda manual that has had aftermarket work done on it.
There's already a thread for Hyundai/Kia SPIII replacement fluid, but the manual for the 2003 accent says to use ATF SPII M, not SPIII. The thread has a different pick for almost every user, with no consensus as to which type or brand of ATF is superior.

I made a spreadsheet showing the various ATF recommended as SPIII replacement fluid to organize the different picks. Let me see if I've got this right...there's five different types (SPII, ATF SPIII, ATF +4, SPIV, and multi-vehicle) and seven different brands people have picked. Two of the types don't have specific brand recommendations at all (ATF +4 and SPIV). Sheet 5 has the relevant information.
