Automatically void the warranty? No.
Put you in an uphill battle? Possibly.
Here's the TSB:
09-AT-006
"Hyundai Motor Company approves of the use of only the ATF specified in the vehicle’s owner’s manual. Use of other ATF may result in improper shift quality or other driveability issues.
Hyundai Motor Company does not approve of the use of any aftermarket ATF additives.
Hyundai Owner’s Manuals state:
“Use only Hyundai Genuine ATF or other brands meeting the specification approved by Hyundai Motor Company.” The approved ATF and the ATF level checking procedure are summarized below:"
There's another TSB, 00-40-013:
"The 2001 Hyundai Shop Manuals specify "SPII-M" automatic transaxle fluid (ATF) for use in automatic transaxles; however, "SPIII" ATFhas been installed in all 2001 model year Hyundai vehicles beginningin July, 2000. SPIII is a new ATF formulation that provides thefollowing improvements to SPII and SPII-M:
*
Improved low temperature viscosity
*
Improved friction modifier additives to provide superior shift quality
Currently, only SPII (P/N 00230-18000) is available to your dealership. SPIII will be made available later this year.SPII has most of the benefits of SPII-M and SPIII, including goodlow temperature viscosity and oxidation resistance for long lifeof the ATF. No durability or shift quality conditions will occurif SPII is used on 2001 vehicles. SPII and SPIII are compatibleand can be mixed in any proportion; however if more than 10 SPII is mixed with SPIII, the benefits of SPIII will be reduced.
The ATF maintenance interval has not changed from the previous SPII interval:
SERVICE INFORMATION:
Both SPII and SPIII have a red color when new; however, the ATF may change color to a dark brown after 10,000 to 25,000miles in service. According to the manufacturer of SPII and SPIII,this color change is normal for this type of ATF and does not indicate an internal transaxle condition."

Don't rely on edmunds, their feature is awful. You need Mitchell OnDemand5 or the manufacturer's diagnostic software.
