the oil level up, add oil slowly until
it reaches the proper level. Do not
overfill.

Recommended Fluid
Transaxle fluid in the automatic
transaxle should be checked at those
intervals specified in the vehicle main-
tenance schedule in Section 5.
Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is
specially designed to operate with
DIAMOND ATF SP-III or SK ATF SP-
III. Damage caused by a nonspecified
fluid is not covered by your new ve-
hicle limited warranty.
NOTE:
Automatic transaxle fluid is basi-
cally red color. As driving distance
increases, the fluid color turns
darkish red gradually. It is a nor-
mal condition and you should not
judge the need to replace based
upon the changing color.
You must replace the automatic
transaxle fluid in accordance with
intervals specified in the vehicle
maintenance schedule in section
5.

transaxle is 7.8 liters (8.2 U.S. quarts).

WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should be
checked when the engine is at
normal operating temperature. This
means that the engine, radiator,
exhaust system etc., are very hot.
Exercise great care not to burn
yourself during this procedure.
