Any SP-4/SP-IV, SPH-IV, CP-IVM/SP4-M, SP-IV-RR, Mercon Low Viscocity ATF will work. Valvoline MaxLife Multi-Vehicle Transmission Fluid will also work. Been using Motomaster Multi-Vehicle Low Viscosity ATF made by CITGO since 2013 for my 2012 Hyundai Sonata. My change interval is every 2 years or 40k kms. and been doing it by myself. A 5-litre jug cost me CA$40.00. HYUNDAI and KIA use the same type of ATF.

@@Zspeed Yes, it is a huge savings for me and for everyone, especially if the car owner is a DIY'er. Hyundai dealers just charges equivalent to 2 arms and 2 legs where car owners will just dedicate 2 hours of their time and some dollars for the ATF. The savings can go your 6/12/24 pack of beer, whiskey and/or Rhum. It may be challenging for first time doers. I also have a 2019 Kia Sportage 2.4 ltr. AWD with 29K kms. and uses the same type of ATF, so anytime this summer, I'll change the ATF and diff power transfer oils.... Great video ! ! !

Always crack the fill plug before draining any fluids. By attaching tubing to the end of a funnel, you can extend its reach and have it fit in tight spots.

That "Fill" bolt on top has a Vent, or Flo' hole that must be a- ligned properly upon installation. Failure to do so could be Catastrophic.

Hi Z Speed. Amazing video, love all the detailed explanation. I read that you are planning to do the filter change on the next flush. Is it possible if you can record it and show the video. I recently purchased a Kia Soul 2021 2.0, it comes with the cvt transmission. On the manual it doesn't show any transmission fluid change schedule, it says is not necessary. I know is pure bs. How often should I replace the fluid on the cvt? Someone said that because those transmissions are extremely delicate, it should be done very 30k. What do you think?

@Zspeed

Wow, 300,000 miles is incredible! If the transmission is not currently slipping or having problems shifting, you should be ok. But you will have to remove the service port on the side of the transmission because your fluid level should be running a little low at this time and you will need to use the port to get the proper fill level. Drive around for about a month and if everything is working OK, you should repeat this fluid drain and fill again and that will really rejuvenate your transmission fluid.

It's better to drain then fill with the same amount fluid. This really does make a big difference on a used car that has not had regular transmission fluid changes. I am speaking from experience. It may seem that a flush is much better but I have yet to meet a mechanic that won't stand behind the advice of a drain and fill. There is a high risk that solid sediments getting move around during a flush will foul the transmission. This is why it's not recommended in the video.

Is thus transferable too a 2016?

If you put less than 1 gallon of back in the car it means you still have about 4 qts of dirty fluid left in the torque converter because the 2015 Kia Soul holds 7.7 qts of Automatic transmission fluid. That's the problem with NOT flushing the system out.
