We reached the point where we have to service the automatic transmission on my son,s Kia rio 2007.
The oil pan have a nice drain plug at the bottom, however I wonder if just draining and refilling the tranny a few times will be good enough ?
If so how many times should I drain and refill ? Should I run the tranny through all the lever position prior all the drain and refill sequence ? How long should I let it run ? Or better should I go for a ride? and for how long before draining and refilling ?
The garage charge $150.00 fro the drain flush and refill. I think its a lots of money for that.
BTW the tranny required a special oil that you can find only at the kia hyundai dealer ,it is true ? cant remember the name but I think its something like sp3 ....
Millions of thanks for your help guys
