What brand of transmission fluid does Kia use as original equipment?

[ElizaLynn]

Currently, Kia models are equipped with 6AT transmissions, and any brand of transmission fluid that meets the Kia SP-IV standard can be used. Types of transmission fluid: Transmission fluids are generally divided into three types: manual transmission fluid, automatic transmission fluid, and continuously variable transmission fluid. Manual transmission fluid is commonly known as gear oil, automatic transmission fluid is commonly referred to as ATF, and continuously variable transmission fluid is commonly called CVTF. Performance and maintenance methods of transmission fluid: Transmission fluid reduces friction, minimizes wear, controls clutch friction and synchronizer performance. It also handles load (low-speed high torque, vibration load), dissipates heat, reduces vibration and noise, and cleans contaminants at gear meshing points (cleaning function). It prevents corrosion, pitting, and surface metal tearing, isolates metal surfaces to prevent direct contact between metals. When the vehicle body shakes, gear shifting is jerky, or the dashboard shows a transmission overheating warning, it is necessary to replace the transmission fluid promptly.
