Kia Soul 2016 | Best Complete Transmission Fluid Change | Save your money | What! No Dipstick! | DIY

Have you called up a Kia Soul dealership and find out what it cost to change your transmission fluid on your Kia Soul 2016 with a 1.6 or 2.0 liter engine? Watch the Best Complete Transmission Fluid Change video and save your money! It's crazy what they charge. Did you know there is no dipstick in the transmission for you to check to see if your fluid is low? How do you check it? I can show you how to do it for less than 20 bucks and it doesn't take a lot of tools. Watch this DIY KZbin video and learn how to change your transmission fluid on your Kia Soul and Save tons of money. When I looked at the other KZbin videos I quickly learned they left a lot of information out that could possibly damage your engine. That's when I decided to make this video. I typically make Cadillac videos but because of what I had to go through to do this job I was compelled to make the KZbin video for you kia owners out there so you don't have to spend a lot of money. There's a lot of Kia Soul models out there, before you go to Kia motor finance, look at a 2016 Kia Soul review if you see at 2016 Kia Soul for sale , or even a Kia motors India, I'm not too sure if this will work on a Kia Sorento you'll have to do your own homework on that one. Find out when the transmission fluid was changed.
This video is one of the most comprehensive videos on this subject. I was surprised at the lack of information that's out there so I had to do a lot of research to find out how to do this because I wasn't about to spend approximately $300 to have someone change my transmission fluid. In this video I will show you it doesn't take a lot of money it doesn't take a lot of tools and it doesn't take a lot of time to do this job, watch this video a few times to develop your confidence trust me if you can change your oil in your car or change a tire you can definitely change your transmission fluid in your Kia Soul.

[@notsofast2325]

[@stevereed6746]

I'm not positive, I didn't read it anywhere, but every other transmission I've done. We always make sure the vehicle is level before you check the flow, or drip from the Transmission. And Probably a good idea to torque if drain plug back in. And lastly probably a good idea to use the internal temperature of the transmition. Otherwise, I think He did a great job, thank you Sir.

[@notsofast2325]

Thanks for your kind input. ( rare now days ) in the video I explain there is no dip stick. And yes in the video I use a laser to check temp. And the width of the pan is small so there is no much oil still in there even tho I jack it up. I measured and put back in what I took out. Then made sure when I put oil in it seeped out the drain plug to top off your oil. You'll still have oil in your torque convertor. But if you keep changing your trans. Oil regularly, that old oil will eventually be good oil. But if you want it level, jack up the back. I have done it this way (like i show in the video )and so far it's shifting great . I have put about 2k and it's shifting better then when I got it. The again. Check out my other videos.

[@PeterHinkle]

I think I saw one other commenter say this but you don’t have to align the hole on the fill bolt and the hose. If you look at the way it’s made, the mouth of the opening has a larger ID then where the threads are but the plug is not tapered. It’s got a straight wall so at the part of the plug closest to the head, where the hole in it is, there will be space around the plug allowing for vent and flow. Make sense? Great video. Very clear and concise. You remind me of back in the day when guys took the time to show respect to the profession and do it right. I’ll check out some more of your stuff cause I like your style. Good luck.

I just bought the same Soul with 143,000 miles on the clock.

Thanks a bunch for taking the time and doing the research. Like you pointed out it's hard to find DIY stuff for Hyundai/KIA. I would have liked to changed the filter as well but found you need to basically disassemble the transmission to do that. So it'll be fluid changes regularly and fingers crossed. Once again, thank you Sir!

I used the great info in this video to change the trans fluid on my 2013 Optima Hybrid. The trans looks the same only problem is an electrical junction box sits right over the fill hole requiring me to us a pump to replace the fluid and having a very difficult time removing and replacing the filler cap. The tip about aligning the hole in the fill cap was great otherwise I would have missed that!!

[@ebunnes]

I have a 2019 optima plug-in (european model) and I think these hybrids have another fill plug located closer to the exhaust side of the engine. That plug is perfectly accessible with a socket wrench. The reason for this extra fill hole would be exactly that the "original" breather plug location is blocked by the high voltage stuff as you described.

[@eastcoastroadrunner]

I like your video, I don't even remove the stuff on top because I don't use the above fill plug. I do a drain and fill every 30,000. I just drain it, clean the magnet bolt, measure it and pump the new fluid into the level port in the front of the transmission so all access needed is just from below. Also doing a drain and fill by using the top plug n overflow to measure then the car needs to be jacked up level. Just being jacked up in front will overfull it by about a 1/2 quart, and the engine can run with overflow club removed to help take in the maximum amount. I run it while I'm pumping it into the same port.

One of the best videos I've seen on the internet by far! Quick question, what about having the car level when you fill and drain it? From what I understand it has to be perfectly level to get the proper amount in the transmission. Is that correct?

Well for me it wasn't a problem. I have been asked this questions a few times. The angle is minut. I have done this twice now and haven't had a problem.

The hole in the fill plug and hose is basically a fancy air vent for the transmission

[@boutellejb]

And for most fittings like that (similar to "banjo" fittings), no alignment is needed - there is clearance for flow around the perimeter of the shank where the 2 holes are. Not positive on this one, but it is normally the case.

[@rubberduckyconvoy2723]

15:08 Thank you sir. But I am doing different. My 2012 Kia Soul hits 97500 miles. First time I change the ATF on 65000 miles.

I opened on Driver side the Level plug and filled the ATF to the Transmission by the level plug. When the ATF been drain out of the Level plug I pluged back the Level plug. So I started the Engine and ran about 15 minutes. It is warm the ATF. So I did unplugged the Level plug and warm ATF is drained a little bit, so level of ATF is right.

Do you have a video how to flush and fill radiator? Thanks

[@notsofast2325]

not at this time but will be coming up. stay tuned

[@kmath50]

Thanks for a very good video. The dealer wants $250 to perform this procedure, and a transmission shops wants $130. I am going to attempt it myself. Some people insist on using the official fluid, but I would think that others should be fine if the meet the same specifications.

[@notsofast2325]

Correct, mine is running just fine. thanks for your input.

[@enty2272]

What about eith the manual version of the 2016 kia soul, are there any differences? What about the part where you put the car in drive 3 times?

[@notsofast2325]

This info is for automatic transmission only. . Thanks for stopping by.

[@GeorgiGeorgiev-ne9ps]

I appreciate your technical explanations. My question is do you know hownto remove the trans filter element? I believe there should be a filter under this big square plastic body where that check screw plug bolts onto. I found that once I was looking for transmission parts I came across a square filter.

[@notsofast2325]

yes there is, if you want to change the filter , You would have to remove the square plastic pan. In this video, i am just changing the oil. I plan to do a video of how to change the transmission filter.

[@GeorgiGeorgiev-ne9ps]

Please do the video. Cant wait :)

[@GeorgiGeorgiev-ne9ps]

@@notsofast2325 another question i had is when the check hole for the fliud level is open, does the car need to be off or running in Park? I saw another not as good video on internet and they did open the big side plastic clip to let excessive oil go out and then they closed while car was in park and running. Similar to your procedure but car was running

[@mosesa50505]

Generally, your supposed to only check transmission fluid while its running, so should be the same for this car.

[@musico119]

So, did it take 3 1/2 quarts of the fluid?

[@scooter12368]

do you happen to know if there is enough space in the fill tube to put a tube down in so i can pump how tranny fluid. that is the process i do now with my dodge caravan. i want to buy a soul and remove a quart every 5000 miles or so and refill with a quart. i have done this for years to keep new detergents in the tranny fluid. the tube and hand pump i use is probably about 1/2 inch in diameter. maybe you saw it before, orange in color at walmart or other stores.

[@notsofast2325]

i really don't know. thanks for stopping by.

[@claytonsorensen1596]

Why not just pump in the fluid from the overfill hole until it runs back out instead of pulling the air filter assembly? Seems like it would save time.

[@acl1903]

There are gaskets on the Fill, Check, and Drain bolts. Are those single use gaskets?

[@notsofast2325]

i don't think so.

[@Manatee693]

my yellow engine light went on at 60,000 miles, tried all the normal stuff and wondered is there a sensor that tells that the trans fluid needs changed ? hope this fluid change helps. tried the gas cap taken off and re tighten , checked oil level , and disconnected battery and re installed and light still on ,Thanks mary c

[@notsofast2325]

take it to a auto parts store they will usually check the codes and tell you what is going on. Good luck

[@the_bonebreaker7588]

Thnx alit, what about the transmission filter? The trany takes more fluid, as more remains inside, is it ok to add oil from another company as u did n gets mixed with the old remaining oil?

[@notsofast2325]

If you want to change your filter every time you change your fluid that's up to you. I'm going to change mine every other fluid change. For a transmission filter change there are other sites you can find, that will show you how to do that. It takes more tools and time. But do able. I will do mine in the late spring, and do a video. As far as the trans. Fluid. You'll never get all the fluid out of your trans. There is a good amount in your torque converter. So that's why it's important you change your fluid regularly so you don't have "old fluid in there". But that's up to your confidence level and how many miles you drive and how hard you drive. The fluid is approved for kia's. So it's the same oil theoretically. I have never had a problem with this fluid. If anything it shifts better. Thanks for stopping by.

[@tesmith47]

@@notsofast2325 is there a torque converter in a CVT TRANNY?

[@thuantt4378]

Just curious why can't you just fill it from the over fill using a pump instead from on top?.

[@notsofast2325]

You might be able to to do that, but I don't think you would get most of the old oil out. This is the way a dealer would do it. Good luck
