Automatic transmission oil temperature when replacing with Sportage
The recommended automatic transmission oil temperature for replacement on Hyundai Sportage vehicles is:
* 30-40 degrees Celsius (86-104 degrees Fahrenheit)
Why is automatic transmission oil temperature important?
* The correct temperature ensures optimal oil viscosity, which contributes to effective lubrication and cooling of automatic transmission components.
* Excessive temperature may cause the oil film to rupture, leading to wear and component damage.
* Too low a temperature can make the oil too viscous, making it difficult for it to circulate and cool the automatic transmission.
How to achieve the optimal automatic transmission oil temperature for replacement:
* Start the engine and let it warm up for a few minutes.
* At idle, shift the automatic transmission selector through all gears (P, R, N, D) with a delay of several seconds in each gear.
* Check the automatic transmission oil temperature using a scanner or IR thermometer.
Note:
* The transmission should be warm, but not hot. If the temperature is too high, let it cool for a few minutes.
*If possible, it is recommended to let the vehicle cool overnight to allow the oil to cool completely.
* Change the automatic transmission oil regularly in accordance with the recommended intervals specified in your vehicle’s owner’s manual.
