A transmission flush is commonly twice the price of a fluid change due to the amount of time the service takes and the fact that the flush not only replaces the fluid in the pan but also removes fluid from the cooler lines and diverse parts of your transmission. A Kia Sorento transmission flush also uses about 10 quarts of fluid to explicitly clean and flush out the system.

Kia Sorento Automatic vs Manual Transmission

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

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