hyundai Ioniq kona and kia niro transmission fluid change

[@adriannieves6121]

I just bought a 2018 Kia Niro hybrid. I have always done all the mechanical work on my cars. And now I'm learning all the hybrid stuff. This channel is perfect. Your videos are detailed and simple to understand. Jose, you are the man. Thanks

[@ils360]

Was the transmission fluid change the same as it is in the video for the nitro?

[@Peaches-N-Mango]

​@@ils360 the Niro uses the exact same engine and transmission. The clutches are a little different but that's about it.

I have a 2018 Ioniq hybrid. Are the gear boxes reliable?? I need to have my transmission fluid changed. It’s on 91,000 miles now and he’s been faultless so far. It’s been a brilliant car.

[@rubiconklbrutorowman7577]

I wanted to see *ev* automatic transmission fluid change, regardless how simple it might be. U should take time to show the oil number and even if U don't have should show us what kind of pump we can use to refill transmission fluid. Plus, ev automatic transmission fluid would be even simpler to change than hybrid (I would guess) but still show to us directly pointing out where it is and should state exact torque spec stated, if you have been properly trained, U should know the drain and fill plugs must be tightened according to the manufacturer's torque spec!

Getting a Niro soon, I believe it’s the same drivetrain. I had a magnetic oil drain plug on my Forte and will get one for the Niro. My question is does the DCT use the same drain bolt as the engine oil pan? If not do you know the dimensions for the DCT drain plug so I can get a magnetic drain bolt for the tranny as well?

When he cleans the drain plug there is no washer, already removed. Then adds a new one!

After you change the transmission fluid do you just start it and let it run for awhile before driving it? Or perhaps go briefly through all the gears ? Then drive it?

[@avenfilmon2285]

After how many miles do you need change it 😎?

[@joshmuluba9091]

Great job - i am bit confused with oil types - I just bought ioniq blue automatic and wanted to know if transmission and front differential use the same oil - I found online ppl stated 70w, 75 w and so on... Please advise.

[@84boostedd]

Great video except the Amsoil dct fluid is not the right fluid to use ... Even after emailing amsoil they state it doesn't meet Hyundai dct requirements.. the correct fluid is redline MTLV fluid approved for Hyundai dct

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

Although they are no the very same this one is for sure to work in this vehicle just fine… the OEM is 70w gear oil and this one is 75w gear oil… hope this clears your doubts

[@daviddivad6109]

Yeah, I read online that, while dry dual clutch systems can use MT, wet systems need DCT fluid. Dealer said this is a wet system but then showed me the right part number which is "Kia manual transmission fluid!" So I bought redline MT and put it in. Feels like I'm getting a vibration though around 3k rpm but that could be me going from 0w16 to 5w30 oil (what the last gen used). Where did you find out that redline is approved for Hyundai's?

[@84boostedd]

If you go on redlines site and look up mtlv fluid it's under OEM comparability

[@ADDwithJTC]

Excellent video! I only have 18k miles on my 2020 ioniq but was curious about maintenance (that I'm pretty big on) this is my first ioniq and I want to keep up on all maintenance. Thank you for your video! I'll watch again next year or so when I'm going to change. Thank you! So you recommend that fluid instead of buying at the Hyundai dealer?

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

One thing for sure... amsoil is one of the very best... but of course the original is great too ☝️😎

[@ADDwithJTC]

@@hybridsolutiondiagnostics thank you I have heard about amsoil.

[@thetechlibrarian]

i’m sure it’s a high quality fluid I just can’t bring myself to use anything but the brand recommended I know a lot of people of had success there’s a very interesting video on Weber autos KZbin channel about transmission fluid it’s quite interesting some transmission fluid have no way to be cross compatible with others but yet are listed as such California actually tried to change the law about the labeling but got lobby and it was dropped yes a lot of the basil oils are the same but it’s really the additive pack that you have no way of knowing if it meets the requirements for your car

[@omarzoubi69]

Hello Sir, I contacted you previously about the mechatronics because of a strong shake when straightening, and I cleaned it completely and then made an air vent from it, and after that things got a lot worse compared to the previous one, as the shake increased a lot and there became double-clutch sounds. I do not know what is the reason and where the problem lies, knowing that The technician told me that the reason could be the internal gear bell. The issue is very disturbing. Please advise me. Thank you.

[@TomerCahill]

Hi Jose how often to change the transmission oil

[@al_khomsii2140]

do you have any advice on how to remove the 12mm bolts holding the reservoir for someone without a lift? I've only got a pair of rhino ramps that I use at home which give me about 8.5" lift... after removing the undertray i can just about guide and position my ratchet with an extension to the bolts, but i'm afraid i won't be able to reposition them after cleaning/refilling the reservoir and might drop the bolts and lose them somewhere, so i'm hesitant to actually commit to the job!

[@hudaitaly]

Thank you for the great video! Could I applu the same fluid/oil for Kona 1.6 turbo 7 speed auto? Thank you in advance. :)

[@rustyclay8670]

Amsoil stated this is not the best choice for these transmissions (specifically the 6-speed DCT that Hyundai/KIA makes). Amsoil actually doesn’t make a recommendation. Since this video was 2 years ago, how did it work? Redline makes an oil That is specific to these transmissions MT-LV is the part. Why not use what’s recommended vs something that is not?

[@kellymcgrew5789]

Same procedure for 2019 Niro FE? Also is there no filter?

[@Jaystoozz]

awesome video! is there a filter for fluid ? and is this the same for 2019 kia niro hybrid

[@brayeer]

I’ve see a question about jerking transmission, mine does it too, also makes a noise ( similar to breaking violin sound) “but not loud and not acute. Apparently comes from gearbox/clutch have someone else noticed something like that This week is the second time I had a kind of stall ( strongly ) look’s like doesn’t engaged the gear or “ and after a strong knock “ it just goes

[@brayeer]

I’ve tried 2 garages, but seriously they have no clue! Just offered to change both 5k £

[@Chiquilindlp]

Ive been experiencing the same as you, except for the violin sound. However sometimes while changing from gas to electric it makes a knock punch sound and feels physical as well, could that be the same one as yours? Jerky transmission while engine is cold is more noticeable. My Ioniq has 125,000km so far, haven't changed spark plugs nor DCT. Only Brake fluid (actuator) and engine oil every service.

[@aram9113]

Seems like a common thing on these drive trains.. got a niro hybrid 2018 since February with same behaviour.. probably going to trade it in next year

[@grzegorzmazurek5066]

Is there a transmission filter as well? I can't find any information for or against there being one

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

No transmission filter ☝️🥲

[@mike423439]

Excellent! Thank you

[@RobertCarr-lu4hk]

2 questions. does the vehicle need to be level side to side , front to bacK? Also what about any remaining fluid within the transmission pathways? does that drain out entirely?

[@rustyclay8670]

Amsoil does not recommend there DCT fluid for this transmission. Redline makes one that is compatible: MT-LV. With that said, and this being 2 years ago, how did the Amsoil perform?

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

They are the very same gear oil 😎👍 so far so good

[@gfargonetoo1]

They are both gear oils. The AMSOIL is about 20% higher viscosity. In hot climate city driving it might just thin out to the 70W spec.

[@32412kg]

Hey Jose 👋 my 2018 niro transmission is shifting louder than usual you can hear the click clicks while it's up and down shifting do you know about this .

[@land7776]

Hello, thanks for vid! I am getting ready to do this on my Kia Niro. I usually use the OEM fluids, but since I see you using the Amsol, and Amsol makes superb oils, I will use it! I'd like to ask you what mileage interval you recommend this change. I currently have 43k miles on Niro. Thanks!

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

Yes about 60k km aberage will be good 👋😎👋😎

[@andrejobin3810]

Every how many km?

[@destroyerjot]

Had a question brother. I have a 2019 Hyundai Ioniq that slightly jerks intermittently upon braking and accelerating. Seems it relates to the transition into first gear. I cleaned out the actuator reservoir and replaced the fluid, but the problem persists. Could changing the transmission fluid help or is it a bigger/different problem? Thanks again for posting these videos, they are extremely helpful.

[@hybridsolutiondiagnostics]

Must do an active test of the shifting system first…

[@omarzoubi69]

I have the same problem how is this test

[@pottsvision2607]

Its just how the car drives... not a smooth engagement/release of the friction brakes, a bit clumsy engagement of the gas engine, and a rougher shift out of first than you'd expect given how smooth every other gear shifts... Been this way since day 1... 100k miles later, exactly the same - perhaps my biggest gripe in an overall great car.

[@Chiquilindlp]

​@@pottsvision2607isn't that the issue of not changing the DCT fluid? The jerkiness.

[@290829082908hq]

That’s great How do I contact you?

[@bhsd531]

The original oil is the 70w hyundai, however this is the amsoil 75w im using in the video as well to all customers cause i consider way better 👋😎

[@Punchy8504]

I was wondering the same. If amsoil is 75w, will that cause issues in cold Canada

[@alexandergunaka666]

It’s not the right fluid and it’s not 75w. Why you lying. I know this off the top of my head. Not only does it not cover the spec for the 70w they use, it doesn’t cover gl-4 the basic gear oil spec. Bro just doing stuff and lying. Hate people who post videos for other to learn but are putting bad info out. Use Redline MTF LV 70w/75w it covers the Kia/hyundai factory spec.
