Applicable Vehicles:





PARTS INFORMATION:

WARRANTY INFORMATION:

SERVICE PROCEDURE:

1. If the A/F has been completely drained, add approximately 5 quarts of SPH-IV A/F.





2. Attach a GDS and select:

^ Vehicle and A/T menu.

^ Current Data

^ Oil temperature sensor.

3. Drive the vehicle until the fluid temperature is at the low end of the range of 122 ~ 140°F (50 ~ 60°C).





4. Step on the brake and then shift into "R" "N" and "D" and back, pausing 2~3 seconds in each range. Repeat two times.

Move the shift lever to P, leave the engine running (Sonata Hybrid in "EV Ready mode) and lift the vehicle on a hoist.

5. Remove the splash shield under the transmission.





6. Remove the oil level plug. The oil level is correct if A/F flows out in a thin steady stream. If no oil flow occurs, go to Step 7.





7. If no oil flow occurs, add SPH-IV A/F through the fill plug opening or use a suction gun to add ATF through the level checking plug. Reinstall the plug.

Start the engine and shift to Park. When the ATF is 122°F ~ 140°F (50 ~ 60°C), remove the level checking plug. The level is correct when oil flows out of the level checking plug in a thin steady stream.

NOTE

Collect and dispose of any excess fluid in accordance with local regulation.

8. Reinstall the overflow plug and torque to specification.

Steel pan: Torque: 25 ~ 32 lb-ft (3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m) Plastic pan: Turn plug past detent.
