Recommended Fluid

Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially
designed to operate with DIAMOND ATF SP-III

nonspecified fluid is not covered by your new
vehicle limited warranty.

Transaxle Fluid Capacity

The fluid capacity of the automatic transaxle is
8.2 U.S. quarts.
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should be checked
when the engine is at normal operating tem-
perature. This means that the engine, radia-
tor, exhaust system etc., are very hot so you
should exercise great care not to burn your-
self during this procedure.

To Check the Transaxle Fluid Level

Park the car on level ground with the parking
brake engaged. When the transaxle fluid level
is checked, the transaxle fluid should be at
normal operating temperature and the engine
idling.
DOHC
While the engine is idling, apply the brakes and
move the gear selector lever from "P" to each of
its other positions — "R", "N", "D", "2", "3", "L"
— and then return to "N". With the engine still
idling:
1. Open the hood, being careful to keep hands,
long hair and clothing clear of any moving
parts.
2. Remove the transaxle dipstick, wipe it clean,
reinsert the dipstick as far as it will go, then
remove it again. Now check the fluid level on
the dipstick. It should be in the "HOT" range
on the dipstick.

3. If the transaxle fluid level is low, use a funnel
to add transaxle fluid through the dipstick
tube until the level reaches the "HOT" range.
Do not overfill.

Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
