Your Kia will also contain a pickup tube, gasket, and rubber seal which may any need to be changed along with the filter.

Kia transmission fluid changes are extremely scrupulous to keep your vehicle's transmission pleasant and lubricated. If you don't routinely change your fluids at least every 30,000 miles or so, you may find that your Kia transmission will slip.

Kia Transmission Flush
A transmission flush is usually twice the value of a fluid change due to the deposit 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 substitute parts of your transmission. A Kia transmission flush also uses about 10 quarts of fluid to completely clean and flush out the system.
How do you know if you need a Transmission Fluid Change or Transmission Flush?
A transmission flush is only convenient if your system contains dirt or debris. If the fluid is extremely dark or contains further sediments, we would recommend a complete system flush instead of just exchanging the fluid. If you'd like one of our competent Kia technicians to examine your transmission fluid, book your transmission service online or give Courtesy Kia of Brandon a call at 8138500547.
Kia Automatic vs Manual Transmission
Automatic and manual transmission will naturally require precise fluids. Automatic transmission fluids are frequently thinner and are naturally red or green in color. Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is thicker due to additives and contrasting compounds imperative to lubricate the gearbox and contrasting parts. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are changed, thus the lubricant is precise.
Not only are the fluids singular between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids experience is highly singular. Automatic transmissions generate a lot more heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be changed more consistently. If you don't change your Kia transmission fluid, your transmission will have broken metal shavings and extra corrosive material spread throughout the critical components of your Kia. You should consistently check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In copious cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be highly difficult to do. Call or visit Courtesy Kia of Brandon for more information if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
