How many liters of transmission fluid does the Hyundai Elantra need?
1 Answers
For the Hyundai Elantra manual transmission, 3 liters of transmission fluid are required for replacement. If using the circulation method for an automatic transmission, 10 liters of transmission fluid are needed, while a direct replacement requires 3 liters. Below are the specific details about transmission fluid: 1. Function of transmission fluid: Transmission fluid is a lubricant that keeps the gear system clean, ensuring the proper operation of the transmission and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. An automatic transmission (AT) consists of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, achieving gear changes and torque variation through hydraulic power and gear combinations. 2. Replacement of transmission fluid: It is generally recommended to replace the transmission fluid every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. This is because the old gear oil may degrade under high temperatures, reducing its lubrication effectiveness and thus diminishing its protective role for the gears. If not replaced, inadequate lubrication can accelerate gear wear.
