Although one of the most popular Hyundai models debuted back in 1995, it still does not lose the interest of car enthusiasts. It was with its release that the South Korean concern began equipping its cars with power plants of its own production. The Accent sedan and hatchback stood out from their competitors with their attractive appearance, fuel efficiency and interior comfort, for which they quickly won people's love. At various times, the car was equipped with gasoline and diesel engines with a volume of 1.3-1.6 liters (85-121 hp) with manual or automatic transmission. Below is information about what kind of oil and in what quantities should be poured into the transmission.
If until 1999 the Accent had an expressive, rounded biodesign, then in 2000 it received a major update. The second generation has become more spacious, increased in size and changed in appearance. But one of the main innovations was a further reduction in gasoline consumption while simultaneously increasing environmental friendliness.
The next generation of Accent in the domestic market is better known as Verna. Its debut took place in 2006 and the model again underwent a major update - now it, both externally and internally, responded to the latest trends in the global car market. However, Verna did not gain popularity in Russia and was removed from the production line in 2010. It was replaced by the 4th Accent - Hyundai Solaris. It was more suitable for Russian operating conditions and harmoniously combined elegance of design with good power under the hood. The emphasis on domestic assembly featured a galvanized bottom and body with anti-corrosion properties. This, coupled with a powerful heating system, made the model ready to work in the coldest climates. It is not surprising that it became one of the most popular foreign cars chosen by domestic buyers.
Changing the oil in an automatic transmission Hyundai Accent
Like any car in the Hyundai Accent, the gearbox has oil that needs to be changed periodically.
Therefore, in this article we will consider the process of changing the oil in a Hyundai Accent automatic transmission, the choice of oil, analogues that can be poured, reasons for replacement and recommendations. Replacement video
The video will tell you how to properly change the automatic transmission oil, and also tell you about the intricacies and nuances of the procedure.
Which oil is better to choose for an automatic transmission in a Hyundai Accent?
Transmission oil ensures smooth operation of the automatic transmission, with the ability to effectively change torque. The optimal operation of the gearbox directly depends on what kind of fluid is poured into it.
Hyundai Accent car manufacturers recommend completely changing the transmission fluid, because by choosing the partial method, you can only change the volume that drains from the pan.
Refill material for Hyundai Accent is purchased in a volume of 6.1 liters. A complete oil change will require about 10 liters of fluid.
The manufacturer insists that drivers use only original transmission fluid for replacement - ATF Mitsubishi Diamond SP-III or ATF ZIC SP-III.

Working fluids play an important role in the operation of critical vehicle systems. Each composition ensures the coordinated and productive work of a particular set. As you know, the condition of the engine oil is important for proper and long-term operation of the engine. For the successful function of an automatic transmission in a car system, it is necessary to change the transmission oil in a timely manner. Despite the care and driving style of the motorist, during operation, working fluids lose most of their useful functions. The use of waste mixture in one or another car system inevitably leads to premature wear of working parts. In this regard, replacing lubricants and coolants remains the most important part of vehicle maintenance.
Large-scale Hyundai repairs usually include changing engine and transmission oil. Automatic transmission allows you to achieve greater comfort when driving a vehicle, which makes this type of transmission very common among modern car enthusiasts. At the same time, having a more complex device than conventional mechanics, an automatic transmission requires care and timely maintenance. It is thanks to transmission oil that the uniform operation of the entire automatic transmission system is ensured. With timely maintenance, an automatic transmission allows you to ensure correct and effective changes in torque. Consequently, the productive operation of the automatic transmission largely depends on the condition of the transmission oil.
Changing the oil in the Hyundai Accent automatic transmission
- Model: Hyundai Accent (LC)
- Body type: sedan
- Year, mileage: 2004, 90,000 km
- Gearbox, drive: automatic, front
- Engine: 1.5 petrol
Reason for contacting the Hyundai Accent "Auto-Mig" car service:
- Changing the oil in an Accent automatic transmission
- scheduled automatic transmission oil and filter change
Diagnostics revealed the following:
- The oil is dark in color, since the replacement mileage was 10,000 km. The manufacturer recommends changing the oil at 80,000 km (Maintenance grid for Hyundai Accent 1.5).
If you compare engine oil and automatic transmission oil, the ATF fluid is not exposed to the same strong influence of other substances as in the engine - gasoline combustion products do not enter it.
You can make sure that the automatic transmission fluid should be changed based on three signs:
- Color
- Smell
- Appearance
- Automatic transmission operation
If the oil in the automatic transmission is dark in color (as in this case), it means it is old and dirty.
If the ATF fluid emits a burnt smell, this means that the automatic transmission in the car has been overheated and the oil has lost its properties.
The presence of foam in the fluid indicates that there is an excess of oil in the automatic transmission. Or this indicates that it was a fluid not intended for this automatic transmission.
If gear shifting is slow or accompanied by jerks, this means that the fluid is dirty and the automatic transmission filter is clogged.

Quality standard
There are certain markings that can be used to determine whether an oil meets a particular quality standard. For example, according to the American API standard, there are two groups of oils - GL4 and GL5. Fluid marked GL5 has many more useful additives that provide extreme pressure properties.
In addition to GL4 and GL5, there is also the marking GL4/5, which indicates a universal type. Another quality standard is the so-called SAE. It is used to determine the viscosity-temperature properties of the oil. The SAE standard also has different markings, for example 75W90. Oil with this viscosity is considered the best option for not too cold winters, and is also suitable for high temperatures.
Automatic transmission
Changing the oil in an automatic transmission is completely different from the principles of changing a manual transmission. In this case, the process is much more complicated and requires more financial costs. Many car repair shops will offer a hardware replacement for an automatic transmission. Such a service will certainly make the life of the owner of a Hyundai Accent easier, since all the work is performed by a special unit that is connected to the automatic transmission. Additional costs in this case are manifested in an increased amount of liquid, since the machine flushes the unit with it, as well as in payment for the work of the technician. Those who are not afraid to spend a few hours on their Hyundai, following some rules, can make the replacement themselves.
Why change?
Of course, nowadays manufacturers of automotive chemicals conduct a lot of research and present a fairly high-quality product on the market. But due to the characteristics of the chemical components of different types of lubricants, over time the oil loses a number of its properties and does not fully perform its functions. Gearbox lubricant is no exception; over time, it also needs to be replaced.
After the loss of some properties of the lubricant, metal ones are not protected from mechanical damage during friction
It is also important that due to the same friction, a sediment of small metal particles appears in the oil, which subsequently have a detrimental effect on the internal mechanisms
We change the oil in the automatic transmission of Hyundai Accent
You need to check the oil level in the N neutral position on a warm car. If the car has been standing for hours, then 5 minutes of warming up will not be enough, you need to drive longer. I usually check in the evening. There was oil flowing. I went to change it, changed the filter, gasket and the oil itself. The old gasket has exhausted its service life; the previous owners of the car did not bother themselves with such “stupidity” as changing the oil in the gearbox.
After replacement, the leak stopped, the pan was dry, and the box stopped jerking when switching. Under no circumstances should you add oil if P is plugged into the box. In this case, the oil level on the dipstick will be displayed in the smallest amount.

It is advisable not to overfill the oil if topping up is still necessary, because the oil in the automatic transmission has special hydraulic properties, it will squeeze out the gaskets and seals, and you cannot cover it with glue. Like me and... The level was looking at N. I decided to double check. Original sent by Genn Like me and.
When to change the oil in a Hyundai Solaris automatic transmission?
The original was sent by Palomino You need to check the oil level in the N neutral position on a warm car. Please tell me how to properly check the oil level in the box - with the engine running or with the engine turned off?? If I check with it running as it is written in the manual, then the oil level in the box is much lower than the Hot mark. The original was sent by Pallant With the engine running.
Mlyn means I'm severely short of oil. It's interesting that the oil level on a warm box depends greatly, that is, is it necessary to drive 10 kilometers before checking?
Maybe I’m just not warming up the box well, so the level shows low. If you start it and heat it at idle, it won’t warm up to the required temperature.
It's better to drive a km. The level at the Cold mark is not so critical, but it is better to top it up otherwise; further, if the oil in the automatic transmission suddenly drops to a critical level, failures will begin when switching.
I have an old car, oil used to escape through rotten gaskets, but I found out that there was not enough oil in the box precisely because of the failures in switching. In this case, it is very possible to spoil the “porridge” with the amount of oil.

Automatic transmission oil change schedule
Each car manufacturer has its own schedule for changing automatic transmission oil "Hyundai Motor Ukraine" - the official distributor of Hyundai cars in Ukraine regulates the replacement of fluid in an automatic transmission every 60 thousand kilometers or 48 months of operation.
Hyundai Accent transmission fluid replacement process
Changing the oil in a Hyundai Accent manual transmission can be done with your own hands. To replace it, it is still advisable to put the car on special equipment. Before this, you need to prepare the necessary tools:
- A set of necessary keys;
- Special container for draining used lubricant;
- Flat head screwdriver;
- Funnel;
- Cutter;
- Rags.
Once all the tools are ready and the vehicle is installed on the inspection equipment, you can begin the oil change process:
- The principle by which the fluid is replaced is similar to the principle of changing the engine oil - the fluid is drained only when the engine is warm. You can warm it up by taking a short trip;
- Next, use a 24mm wrench to unscrew the drain plug, first replacing the prepared container. The drain plug must be cleaned of dust and dirt;
- After the liquid has been completely drained, you can return the plug to its place;
- The next step is to unscrew the filler plug. You should replace the washer on it, and after filling the oil, screw it back on.
Be sure to measure the oil level. If it turns out to be insufficient, you should add more. If there is too much liquid, some must be drained. After installing the filler plug, you must again make a short trip while switching gears, and then again take a control measurement of the oil level.
Quality standard
There are certain markings that can be used to determine whether an oil meets a particular quality standard. For example, according to the American API standard, there are two groups of oils - GL4 and GL5. Fluid marked GL5 has many more useful additives that provide extreme pressure properties. In addition to GL4 and GL5, there is also the marking GL4/5, which indicates a universal type. Another quality standard is the so-called SAE.
