What is a Transmission Fluid Exchange?

In basic terms, the old fluid is replaced with a clean product during a transmission fluid exchange. The old fluid is removed by technicians while it is under pressure. This additional pressure helps to remove build-up that may be causing issues. Having this done when it is scheduled or needed will improve your Hyundai’s performance and extend its lifespan.

Reasons for Changing the Transmission Fluid

The transmission fluid doesn’t need to be changed often. In your owner’s manual, Hyundai provides a recommended schedule of maintenance tasks. However, you may notice some indications before then such as grinding noise or hesitation from the accelerator. This can mean that the transmission fluid is low or that the transmission is slipping. Some manufacturers recommend flushing the old fluid every 30,000 miles. Others indicate that it is needed at 60,000-100,000 miles. Refer to the owner’s manual for your model and year.

Benefits of a Transmission Fluid Exchange

Transmission fluid is able to lubricate when it is clean. This contributes to maintaining the engine’s temperature. The dirty fluid will eventually damage the transmission to the point that it will need to be rebuilt or replaced. This is a costly repair. When you compare maintenance costs to repair costs, it's wise to get maintenance done when needed.
