I did that twice to my ex sorento 2012 before 3yr ago it was 63K miles on the 1St ATF exchange and 69K miles on the 2nd exchange .. I did it perfectly ... This year i bought anew Sorrento 2017 the same of yours ... It crouss about 38k miles up now so I will wait up to 45k miles and do the same ... Thank you for sharing your thoughts.. Great video.

@@JunkyardJunkie Thanks much appreciated!

[@davow8]

Thanks for this. If you are sure the trans has not lost fluid, why not leave the overflow plug alone. Just measure and replace the exact same amount of fluid? Volume will differ with temperature of course so you could do it at ambient room temp or wait for the drained oil to cool before accurately measuring volume to replace. Either way, ... less risk, less waste and less mess. I always use brake or throttle cleaner on drain and refill areas before and after opening. There is a reason these trans are sealed. The slightest bit of grit inside and you risk losing the lot.

[@JunkyardJunkie]

I get you. Like I said in the video ether way is fine. Realistically catching it and measuring it is the best practice. Like you said you’ll get an accurate measurement. Thanks for watching!

[@wallycheladyn1190]

Awesome video. Gotta love how many bolts Kia installs on that skid plate.

[@JunkyardJunkie]

Thanks. ya haha. Thanks for watching!

[@dimitrikhomyak7686]

I found it helpful, and the fluid replacement was easy to do. The only thing that turned out differently on mine, is that after driving, and then removing overfill plug again, I had more liquid gushing out.

[@dimitrikhomyak7686]

Also, i should note that I did dump a full gallon in there. Btw, the manual states 8.24 US qts as the capacity. So odd that it takes less than half.

[@JunkyardJunkie]

You’ll never get the full amount of what it can hold with out removing stuff like the torque converter, which will hold a lot just by itself. But, I’m glad to hear this helped! Thanks for watching!

[@kevingliebe5607]

Not good, you should never remove that plug when the vehicle is off! You just lowered the fluid and now your trans is underfilled. The transmission fluid level on Kia vehicles must ONLY be checked when the vehicle is running and at temperature. Only then will the level hole show the correct level (a dribble). What you describes is normal but now you need to refill it again properly or the level will be low. Never check the level of kia transmission fluid with the vehicle off. Kia Tech info and service manual fully describes this. You wil not get the correct level.

[@kevingliebe5607]

You can drain when the vehicle is off and remove the drain plug with the vehicle off, but never the level check plug on the front of the trans. That is only to be done when the vehicle is running and at temperature. Do it any other way with a Kia vehicle, you will get the wrong level of trans fluid!

[@JunkyardJunkie]

@@kevingliebe5607 calm down, go to 13:30 and listen till the end. At that part you will finish topping it off while it’s running.

Hey go for it I know you can do it! Thanks for the complement that means a lot! But, I like it. Dealerships always sell everything for outrageous prices. That’s why unless it’s a part I have to have 100% faith in, I don’t buy from the dealer.

You’re welcome! Put it in park. Thanks for watching!

[@williamandrewwood1061]

How many quarts did you pour at first? How many did you pour after heating it up and cycling through the gears? Is one 4 quart jug enough?

[@JunkyardJunkie]

Yes sir, I actually don’t remember. it was under 4 quarts if I remember correctly. Then once I went through the gears I believe I finished the jug and it was perfect. I did have one extra quart just in case (rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.). In future videos I’ll make sure to specify.

[@cod3man529]

Great videos, Thank you. I know that I asked in this question below, but do you know if this was service prior to you doing it? and do you know at how many miles to change it? I have looked in the owner's manual but it's unclear. Thank you. Great video.

[@JunkyardJunkie]

Hey sorry if I didn’t answer it for you last time. So, I did look into your owner manual online and you are correct they don’t specify anything to do with transmission fluid. I know a lot of these newer vehicles they say that it’s a lifetime fluid (don’t believe that). But, Nalley Kia recommends every 30k-50k miles. For your other question, I did wind up asking her and she told me that other than the break in period (500 miles) she had not had it changed. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. Hope this helps!

[@HockeyGoon939]

On a Kia you do the initial fill till it runs out the lower hole. Drive the vehicle about 5 or 10 minutes until the engine is at operating temp. Remove the lower check plug and the fill plug and keep adding until it runs out. On a medium to full sized vehicle you will get another 2 quarts or so in it. Do this while the engine is running.

If the fluid has never been changed at 100,000 miles, if it is changed, it may affect the operation of the transmission.

[@JunkyardJunkie]

It could but should be fine: what I always recommend is look at where it fills up to and see if the fluid is burnt or has any shiny flakes in it if it does I wouldn’t do it. Otherwise you should be good to go. 100k isn’t too late. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

[@JunkyardJunkie]

Yes, if I’m not mistaken it should be almost the exact same.

[@b94sport]

If you have to fill until the fluid starts coming out of the overflow port, is there a reason why you can't just treat the overflow port as the filler (similar to rear diff or transfer case) and pump fluid in that way? Seems like it would be easier than going in from the top of the engine, but I haven't tried this job yet.

[@JunkyardJunkie]

Ya, you can also it do it that way. The reason I used the top is the fact that it’s easier to access.

[@b94sport]

@@JunkyardJunkie You're totally right. I went out to do this job last night and the top is easier. This was probably one of the easiest transmission fluid changes I've done! Didn't even jack up the car. Thanks for the video! Edit: I should clarify - I did an oil change and transfer case fluid change a couple days ago, and I knew I was going to do the transmissions fluid, so I left the undercover off until this job was done. No way you're getting that thing removed without jacking up the car!

That’s awesome! Thanks for watching! Work smarter not harder right? Haha I would have done the same.

[@dans9462]

Should I used 5he original fluid or Valvoline is good? How much should I put in?

[@JunkyardJunkie]

So personal preference with the fluid. I usually use valvoline but if you want the extra money you can get the original fluid from the dealership but it’s pricy. If you watch the video you will fill it till it runs out of the side. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

I have a 2016 with 2.4 awd the owners manual doesn't say when to change it and it has 105,000 miles never changed. Is it ok to change, or will it have problems

[@JunkyardJunkie]

Hey, so looking it up and talking with dealerships they recommend to change it every 30k miles to keep your transmission from slipping. You’re at 105k I would still feel comfortable changing it at that mileage. But to be sure open the overfill plug and look inside if you cant see then you can pick up a cheap borescope (20$ish) to check and make sure you don’t see clutch material you should be fine. Also make sure it doesn’t smell really burnt. Anyways good luck! Thanks for watching!

[@DavidE7050]

Hey, should I be doing this a couples times until the old stuff leaves the system? From my understanding, only about half the fluid comes out of the drain.

[@JunkyardJunkie]

I wouldn’t. Doing it this way is more than sufficient. But you are correct when you do this it only changes a certain amount of fluid.

[@HockeyGoon939]

Depends on the condition of the oil and the miles. If you are changing it for the first time at 100k I would change it once then change it again at 1000 miles. Then start changing it every 30k miles.

[@v3sp3r33]

I have the same model and year, how do I check the transmission fluid before I replace it? Since there isn't a dip stick I'm lost.

[@JunkyardJunkie]

Unfortunately there’s no proper way to test you just have to go off of the 30k mile change interval. This is a poor design on any cars or trucks that implement this. You can always open the overfill bolt and check the fluid that way.

[@abdussabuur1120]

Do you remove the overfill plug completely of halfway out

Hey, what is your native language maybe I can translate it to you for better understanding. As for at 10:31 there’s a 3/8 drive fill plug (once it runs out of there you are at the correct level of fluid). As for if there is a filter, yes all transmissions come with a filter but this fluid change is usually enough unless you haven’t been changing it on time and unfortunately I didn’t get to record changing the filter.

@@jessejoe7216 it's right inside and behind the face of the transmission cover (black cover where the overfill port is located). It doesn't need to be changed every fill but every other may be worth it. I never plan to lol.

So many skid plate bolts

Haha no joke. That’s were electric ratchet come s in handy!

For any of ya'll that want to do it and don't have many tools and have a small pump, their is a 24mm bolt on the back of the exhaust manifold. You can also fill it this way. And No the fluid check plug IS NOT A FILLER HOLE ACCORDING TO KIA.

[@JunkyardJunkie]

Good idea on the pump. Although it’s more likely people have a cheap ratchet set then a pump that’s worth even using. Literally almost everyone uses it at a fill hole so I’m not sure why your so upset haha. But, the way Kia wants you to do it (per the dealership) is fill it back up at the bottom overfill port. I believe I said this in the video (if I didn’t I apologize). But, usually it’s a pain to fill it from there and easier to add from the top. Anyways thanks for watching!

[@ronijr4918]

@@JunkyardJunkie I'm not upset lol. I was just giving another option but you did a great job on filling it from the top as well it's just that on the " kia manufacturer maintenance procedure " specific says the check plug is not a fill plug. But good video either way! 👍cheers.

[@JunkyardJunkie]

Thanks I appreciate it. Hope You have a great day!

[@NoName-zq6ic]

Do you mean there's a 24mm fill access port somewhere BEHIND the exhaust manifold on the transmission housing? The way you word it, it sounds like you remove a 24mm bolt from the exhaust manifold and fill through the manifold.

@@JunkyardJunkie it's ok. I was just kidding. I did find this video helpful though. Thank you

[@il94z12]

I used that same funnel set up, when filling the trans with fluid, it kept bubbling and fluid went everywhere. There’s got to be a better way. Kia sucks honestly between their motors and cheap parts, & over engineered/complicated when compared to Honda vehicles

[@JunkyardJunkie]

You could always use one of those pump toppers and fill from the middle plug instead. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
