I would like to put out there if anyone is curious, some models like mine on 01 hyundai santa fe 2.7 awd have a screw on filter for the transmission right next to the dipstick below the two radiator hoses that connects from the upper and lower hoses. You may have to take off the air filter housing box so you have more room to twist with a filter wrench if you cant get it off by hand. Great video.
all youve done is drained what was in the pan. there will still be 5-7 litres inside the torque converter. i normally flush them from the transmission oil cooler line. replacing the amount that is removed
See at 2:51 how poorly designed this model of Santa Fe is, where the put the edge of the frame rail directly under the drain bolt, so that no only can you not use long sockets in this location, but also when the fluid runs out at the end, it gets all over the rail. This is a situation where one engineering department was not aware of what the other was doing, which appears to be all too common with car manufacturers. Else, they would have notched out the frame rail a bit, designed the transmission drain bolt or the whole transmission to sit in a slightly different position.
You are holding the bottle the wrong way. Flip it around. Keep the opening higher when pouring and it will go smooth. Pause the video at 4.30. Flip the bottle so that the opening of the bottle is higher (closer to your hand) not lower (closer to the engine)
@@addismultitasking3504 would NOT do it for a drain and refill or a fluid removal and refill- in a pinch if you were topping off SPIII with maxlife, then yes up to maybe 20% can be this maxlife synthetic-why? Hyundai outsources there ATF two refineries with specific ATF flash point viscosities based on there throttle valves and clutch plates interaction with ATF. We have seen dissembled hyundai transmissions (over 25 in the last year) were non spIII ATF was used and the detergents in this fluid destroyed the clutch plates and clogged valves. With online purchasing from any hyundai/kia dealer the SPIII can be found for $7.00 with shipping. The only experiment we havent done is on a new Hyundai virgin AT removed SPIII and replaced with MAXLIFE
Like I said before this meets and exceeds sp3 this is fully synthetic fluid it's approved by Honda Toyota Mercedes BMW Volvo and Audi...all kinds of manufacturers the will not be any problem using this in the transmission
@@addismultitasking3504 the synthetic part of Maxlife has nothing to do with the validity of compatibility. Again my experience/expertise is POC with 25+ HYUNDAI ONLY transmissions being destroyed due to improper SPIII. The only other company authorized by Hyundai Manufacture to produce a SPIII ATF outside Hyundai brand is www.eneos.us/. Once again economically your not saving any money by buying MAXLIFE and there are many Hyundai dealerships online that you can by Hyundai SPIII so the availability is high. GOod luck.
