Looking at girlfriends 2007 KIA Sorento owners manual and it says to change ATF every 105,000 miles under normal maintenance schedule and every 18,000 miles under severe service. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Anyhow, She would probably fall under normal since most of her miles are highway....Approx. 65,000 miles on car.
Owners manual says to use: "APOLLLOIL ATF RED-1K". What in the heck is that? Sounds like something specific to KIA and only available at the dealer and would be higher than a Georgia pine. Entire system takes 10.5 qts. but I would drain it first to see how much I need to buy for make up.
So my questions are:
1. Good idea to change it soon?
2. Is there an equivalent to this "APOLLLOIL ATF RED-1K that I can use?
Please advise, thanks.
