Excellent and to the point video. Thank you. See it’s possible to show people what to do without taking 20 minutes

Facts

[@malatrash]

You are absolutely right

[@marshallkinjongun5333]

No wonder I could not find the transmission dipstick I can't thank you enough thank you and I have Subscribed to your channel.

[@RBZ06LT6]

These cars are so well done. Just like Hyundai wanted their mechanics and diy owners to actually enjoy working on the car.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Sometimes not all the time lol

[@Bofuso]

Idk these cars are kinda a pain. Motor blows and gets a recall for it. Rubber Transmission lines breaking because they are too short and crack. And that’s because me and my dad stay on top of maintenance.

[@jacksonnyman1093]

It certainly depends what it is, steering coupler nope, serpentine belt pain in the ass

[@aconformist1]

Rear rotor replacement says otherwise, one of the worst bolt placements I've ever seen on a car.

[@SSN515]

@@aconformist1 Yep. I was going to say the OP obviously has never replaced the rusted out rear brakes, rotors and pads, parking brakes, or rusted out calipers every year.

[@richardlilley9716]

So glad I came across this video. I never even thought of changing the transmission oil in the car. It's a 2012 had it for 2 years and no listing anywhere of when it was last changed. Seems like that will be this week's job along with the oil. Thank you for your help

[@viktoroudovenko4496]

Have you changed ATF? How many miles has your car? did you have any problems with transmission after?

[@adamnugent2137]

Totally awesome video. short and straight to the point no bs no obnoxious background music. would have been even better if you remove / drop down the engine cover on that side of the vehicle to access the transmission drain plug instead of cutting. but overall, awesome video. thank you so much for showing us how this DIY. I have a 2013 hyundai sonata and I need to do this. liked and sub!

[@MrRangerZr1]

It's not much trimming but yes you can remove if you choose.

[@markmaristch2779]

gears have been shifting slowly recently so i went to grab some fluid, didn’t realize she had to be jacked up tho. is it unsafe to do this without draining the excess through the bolt ?

[@danarello2563]

Excellent video. The main problem with my 2015 sonata is that I have no clue how or where to put my floor jack on the undercarriage to safely jack up the vehicle. I have seen an older video where he rigged up 2 X 4s along the sides under the doorjam... but why is that necessary?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Check the owner's manual, it should show you the jacking points

[@factionfx]

You jack all these cars on the pinch welds. they will be near the tires. there are special adapters for jacks that have a small trough in them for the pinch welds.

[@cihanugur8973]

Thanks for the video.few quick questions ; - people recommend to put same amount of fluid comes out , is this not correct ? - I’ve been told to buy and use the fluid from Hyundai Dealer ? - If you haven’t changed the fluid every 40-50K miles regularly , never change it again , leave it alone , is this correct ?

[@jlam3927]

What are the two bolts/rivets that hold the front of the splash guard up? The ones that are just under the front air dam/radiator shield. Looks like a bracket, mine are missing.

[@mikewhite8397]

Do you have to let the transmission reach a certain temperature before you remove the check plug?

[@ZNA03]

Thanks! Great video. Solid visuals to help locate everything and follow the process. You didn't mention if the fill hole needs to be open when checking the level but I noticed the funnel still inserted as you went to show the location of the fluid level viewing port. Quality over quantity in this video! New sub for sure.

[@dontew90]

Just 1 question once you removed the transmission fluid check plug... what did you do next? Did you let the car run then eventually put it back on or what?

[@MrRangerZr1]

yes let it run once it drips like in the video at operating temp you're good to go

[@gabsanchez6784]

hyundai sonata 2016 80k miles running good. You can change the transmission fluid ??

[@MrRangerZr1]

Yes

[@MrBeverlyCleary]

My father in law told me I'm supposed to use a certain oil for a CVT engine during transmission fluid change. Do you know what Oil is supposed to be used for this transmission change? I can't find details anywhere

[@teesmith7428]

Look on the back of the owners manual

[@HamidMobini-vk2yu]

Is the whole trans fluid flushed this way? What about the fluid in the torque converter?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Can't get everything out. And the term "flush" is not to be used with transmissions. Flushing transmissions will destroy them. Drain and fill like in this video is all that's needed.

[@josea285]

can't you technically drive it for a minute then drain it again so all the fluid comes out?

[@artsnow8872]

The torque converter holds some fluid. To give the new fluid a chance to circulate into the torque converter, I'd drive it several hundred miles, and then drain and fill, again. Years ago, some torque converters came from the manufacturer with a drain plug. Alas, no more!@@josea285

[@ashtonbennett2882]

Hello. Do you know what the plug/sensor piece is called thats beside fill plug?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Some transmission module/sensor

[@davidnoonan-ww2cx]

Does the transmission not have a filter??

[@jacksonnyman1093]

It does, but you need to take the trans pan off, and you should never change the fluid and filter both pick 1 or the other

[@MrRangerZr1]

Every transmission has a filter, if you been regularly changing the fluid you don't need to worry about the filter

[@reda497]

How do you how many litters you need

[@MrRangerZr1]

5 quarts

That was a perfect video, to the point Thank you

[@taifon4552]

Why some people say Don't ever replace transmission fluid or you get transmission failure?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Don't ever flush, you can change it.

[@ctuan13]

Do you think it's necessary to replace the filter as well? I've always done it on my Fords and Lincolns with every transmission fluid change, but not sure since I haven't seen anyone actually change the filter on these hyundais.

[@michazychowski3325]

no. it is built in oil pan and is eventually only replaceble while rebuilt ( 150-200 k- miles )

[@ctuan13]

@@michazychowski3325 Ahh okay, I gotcha, well I won't worry about it then, thanks!

[@MrRangerZr1]

no need really

Is the pan easy to replace? Mine is punctured

Should be just remove the plastic undertray you'll see it

You can't access the filter unless you're doing a transmission teardown.

Not easily accessible, just change the fluid regularly.

Does the vehicle need to be running to check fluid

[@MrRangerZr1]

yes as shown

[@kelznextdoor4661]

Is this the same for the 2012 hybrid

[@MrRangerZr1]

If it has the same transmission yes

[@kalani1987]

I guess you could also pour in what you drained out, instead of pulling the check plug. Assuming it was filled properly to begin with.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Not the best option but you can do that

[@mikemoyercell]

yeah i wouldn't do that - put new fluid in.

[@kalani1987]

@@mikemoyercell that's what I meant. Measure the old fluid that drained out, then pour in same amount of new fluid.

Bro why they bolted the starter by the transmission lmaoo my mechanic was so pissed lmao hyundais are a pain in the assssss sometimes

At least you don't have to remove the transmission to access the starter. Yes there are cars like that.
