Hyundai Elantra manual trans fluid change help

[dja4260]

I'd like to change out the factory trans fluid in my 2013 Elantra with 24k miles. I know that I have alot of options so I'd like to hear what fluid and brand would be best for my application. Redline MT-85 was recommended on a Hyundai forum...

MT-85 75W85 GL-4 quart is the correct redline oil. Seems a good place to start, if not happy go try again. I've been satisfied with redline products.

I think you would be happy with the MT85 from my own experience with a similar car with the same trans. I had a 2012 kia forte before I bought my 2012 chevy sonic turbo.

I would recommend the factory Hyundai lube if you've been happy with the performance. I bought genuine Hyundai manual trans fluid from a dealer for around $15 a quart. It was full syn and made by SK Lubricants in Korea.

Nothing wrong with the 75w85's from GM, Mopar, HyundaiKia, Nissan, Redline... Pick any!

I wondered who made the Hyundai fluid. Not doubting you but do you have any documentation that I can pass on?

It clearly said on the bottle that it was made in Korea by SK Lubricants. I wish I would have taken pics of the bottle before I threw it away. There are multiple times I've wanted to post pics of it. http://www.sk.com/
