Transmission Fluid for Sorento'08

Postby rayj » November 10th, 2022, 8:31 pm

Does anyone know the correct Transmission Fluid for 2008 model Sorento?
Searches come up with: "ATF Dexron II" and "ATF RED-1"; depending on the gearbox....
.... but a local used parts dealer was telling me: "AFT+4" or "SP 3".

You'll have to check for your gearbox but the parts store is recommending fluids that are compatible but not the same.

Much will depend on whether you decide to replace all of the fluid or just add some.

Didn't see anything on the gearbox or dipstick.... but then neither mech nor I have the best eyesight. LOL
The intention is to replace all. Thanks, will try to be as wary as possible.
