Kia Optima Automatic vs Manual Transmission

Automatic and manual transmission will consistently require additional fluids. Automatic transmission fluids are frequently thinner and are consistently red or green in color. Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is thicker due to additives and additional compounds decisive to lubricate the gearbox and additional components. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are changed, thus the lubricant is additional.

Not only are the fluids various between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids experience is particularly various. Automatic transmissions generate frequent more heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be changed more ordinarily. If you don't change your Kia Optima transmission fluid, your transmission will have broken metal shavings and alternative corrosive material spread throughout the vital components of your Kia Optima. You should ordinarily check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In many cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be extraordinarily difficult to do. Call or visit Courtesy Kia of Brandon for more information if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
