Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / June 20062001 Accent GlS Man. Trans Fluid
I have had people tell me that the fluids in a manual car does not need changing. Is that true? I have about 108000 on my 2001 accent no major trouble as of yet (knock on wood) My dealership closed that i used to goto and the closest one has rude a$$ service Techs. I don't recall the interval specified in the owner's manual, so you should check. If it were my car, I'd do it every 30k. > I don't recall the interval specified in the owner's manual, so you should > check. If it were my car, I'd do it every 30k.

That's like changing synthetic engine oil at 2,000 mile intervals.

I'm curious why hyundaitech suggested it. He is usually well thought out, or speaking from observed experience. Signature-Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net 30k is just what I'd do on my car. Why? Because it's cheap and I think it's a good interval. Just like I change my coolant every year. But that's me. Once upon a time, the recommended interval was 30k, but I'm remembering from cars made 15 years ago. Bottom line, you're only required to do what the manual says. I did my elantra every 24 months or 40,000 KM >I have had people tell me that the fluids in a manual car does not need >changing. Is that true?
