Every car owner sooner or later faces the choice of oil. This happens most often immediately before its replacement. Someone only needs original manufacturer, someone believes that ordinary analogues cope with their task, but for someone it is not at all clear which oil to use. Let's try to deal with all the subtleties using the example of selection oil in automatic transmission KIA Sid.

So, let's begin. Why do I like KIA? And the fact that Kia is much simpler than other manufacturers. In our case, simplicity refers specifically to the oil in the box. The recommended oil in the first generation Kia Sid automatic transmission is called DIAMOND ATF SP-III or SK ATF SP-III . The first is oil from the little-known company Teboil, and the second is the well-known ZIC. It does not matter which manufacturer you choose, only the ATF SP-III standard itself is important. The oil in the second generation KIA Ceed automatic transmission is somewhat different. This is due to the fact that new automatic transmissions were installed for the second generation, namely 6-speed automatics instead of 4-speed ones. Accordingly, the liquid itself has changed. In automatic transmission latest generation KIA SID is recommended to fill in new oil ATF standard SP-IV .

As for the volume, the first generation will require 6.6-6.8 liters of ATF, and the second - already 7.1-7.3 liters.

The table below shows the filling volumes and recommended oils in the Kia Sid automatic transmission:

Original oil in automatic transmission KIA SID

original box oil automatic KIA LED called Hyundai AFT SP-III. At one time there were rumors that official supplier oils for the conveyor of the KIA & Hyundai concern is the Korean company SK-Lubrikants (owner trademark ZIC). But this is far from true. The KIA & HYUNDAI concern has subsidiary, which produces most of the spare parts and technical fluids supplied to the conveyor of the concern. The company is called MOBIS. This is the manufacturer original fluid SP III. The photo below shows a canister of original oil in the first generation Kia LED automatic transmission. Articles for searching and ordering are also given.

1l - 04500-00100
4 l - 04500-00400
20l - 04500-00A00

As for the SP-IV fluid, Mobis has it too. IN new KIA Sid on the conveyor is filled with it. Here is a photo and article for ordering:

What other oils can be poured into the Kia LED automatic transmission?

Oddly enough, SP-III and SP-IV fluids have a large number of analogues.

The list will be constantly updated.

ATF SP-III analogues:

ZIC ATF SP III
Teboil Diamond ATF SP-III
Mitsubishi DiaQueen ATF SP-III
Chevron ATF SP-III
Liqui Moly Top Tec ATF 1200
AISIN ATF AFW+
Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF
Petro-Canada DuraDrive MV Synthetic
...

Analogues ATF SP-IV

With a similar tolerance, there is a German RAVENOL ATF SP-IV. In addition, SP-IV complies with the DEXRON VI standard in terms of its properties and composition, which further expands the number of analogues. This includes Petro-Canada Dexron VI and other manufacturers.

On this, perhaps everything! Please note that interesting articles on choice and have recently appeared on the site. I advise you to take a look! If you have read this article to the end, now you know for sure what kind of oil to fill in automatic transmission Kia Sid!

Automatic transmission oil popular on domestic market South Korean car Kia Sid should be changed after about 60 thousand kilometers. If the car is used more actively than usual, then the oil in the automatic box should be changed by the owner approximately every 30 thousand kilometers. In the event that you do not carry out the replacement in a timely manner, then this will certainly affect the operation of the box, and negatively.

Choosing a lubricant in KIA Sid automatic transmission

The correct choice of oil is very important, because the operation of the automatic transmission will depend on it. The oil helps to reduce gearbox wear as corrosion resistance increases when each metal element resistant to moisture. Lubrication also helps cool the gears. The process of choosing an oil for a KIA Sid car often comes down to one question that the car owner has: use a universal or original product. To determine this, you need to identify all the pros and cons.

Original grease for automatic transmission KIA Sid

When we speak: original oil, then we mean the liquid that was made by the manufacturer of the machine. Each automotive company has a certain tolerance for the production of any consumables. Grease can be purchased at dealerships or in specialized automotive stores. And the biggest plus this oil in that it has 100 percent compatibility. You do not have to select your specific brand and model of car. You may not even know the specifics of the purchased liquid, because the choice is made according to the brand of the car. Using this oil will not void your warranty. Therefore, if your car is under warranty, then it is best to give preference to the original oil.

If we take into account Russian realities, then such oil has drawbacks, for example, this is a rather high price. For the most part, all economical car owners buy universal oil in automatic transmission. In remote small settlements it is difficult to find ATF for a particular brand of car, especially if it is not popular. There is a huge chance to stumble upon a fake. Especially if the liquid is purchased in dubious markets. Automakers themselves are not engaged in the manufacture of oil, this is done by enterprises that produce universal oils. Therefore, under the brand name, the usual universal liquid, which will be many times more expensive than its real value.

Is it advisable to use multipurpose oil or not?

Universal oil in the ACC for the KIA Sid car and for other cars has main feature- this is that it corresponds to the factory tolerances of several manufacturers at once. Due to this, this liquid can be used for a large number car models of various brands.

Advantages of this oil:

• High quality if the lubricant is correctly selected;
• Large selection, which is not available when buying original oil;
• Low cost when compared with the original liquid.

Disadvantages of this oil:

• The gearbox may fail if the lubricant was not properly selected;
• You should know the tolerances, and, based on them, determine which brand of oil is suitable for your car;
• The car is automatically removed from the warranty if a non-original oil is used.

Easiest for European cars select universal oil, since the European Antimonopoly Agency prohibits Consumables without an alternative, thus providing a choice to consumers. With Japanese and Korean cars, the situation is somewhat different, and not all brands can find a universal fluid.

You should remember the most important rule - do not fill in the liquid that is intended for automatic box gears to mechanical, and vice versa. Lubrication for each type of transmission is different, and the gearbox will come out of a standstill, when filling, do not appropriate oil. In addition, the oil for the "machine" must have the following properties:

• Optimal Performance operating temperature and viscosity;
• Reducing the level of wear of parts in the gearbox;
• Increasing the level of resistance to oxidation;
• Anti-seize properties.

How to change the lubricant in an automatic transmission

Changing the oil in an automatic box on a KIA Sid car may well be done by yourself, the main thing is to know some of the features and follow strictly the instructions. There are 2 ways to change the oil. We propose to consider them in more detail in order.

Method using special equipment

IN this case a complete oil change is carried out in the automatic transmission in the South Korean model KIA Sid by the punching method. Due to technological complexity, this method can only be carried out in the conditions of the service station. An oil change in an automatic transmission occurs as follows: the tubes of the apparatus are connected through a radiator, then the engine starts and the waste is drained, after which new oil is poured. The device has a small window through which you can control the color of the oil being poured.

The advantages of this method:

• When using professional equipment, probable errors are excluded;
• There is a complete oil change, which improves the performance of the gearbox and reduces fuel consumption;
• Fully controlled process, you can see the color and amount of fluid poured into the automatic transmission.

Cons of this method:

• STO will give you a guarantee only for their services. There will be no guarantee for the quality of the oil and for stable work automatic transmission;
• Some car services do not have specialized equipment for changing the oil in the engine;
• This service costs a lot of money.

DIY replacement method

In this case, it happens partial replacement oils in the automatic transmission. Simply put, you "refresh" the oil in car KIA Ceed. The method is quite simple: you need to remove drain plug crankcase, drain a small amount of old oil, approximately 1/3 of the total volume, then fill in the same amount of new oil. As a result of this, no cardinal changes will occur, since only 30-40 percent of the liquid will be updated.

The advantages of this method:

• During the replacement, you can rinse the pan and filter, due to which there is visual diagnostics state of the automatic transmission;
• Minor oil consumption;
• The procedure is very simple, it can be carried out on your own and at the same time without the use of specialized equipment.

Cons of this method:

• You will not be able to replace all the oil;
• When more oil needs to be changed, this procedure will have to be repeated more than once. And you won’t be able to do it right away, since a partial oil change should be carried out no earlier than 100-200 kilometers.

Summing up

As you can see, changing the oil in a KIA Ceed car is absolutely not difficult. The basic rules are to correctly determine the choice of liquid and choose the best way replacements. As you can see, when changing the oil in an automatic transmission of a KIA Ceed model, there is always an alternative.

In September 2006, the South Korean automobile manufacturer Kia Motor Corporation, on Paris Motor Show introduced new car segment "C" Kia Ceed. Vehicle immediately hit the taste of the consumer, for acceptable price the owner received a car with a lot of options. Complete sets began with a simple “Classic” and ended with a complete “Premium”, along with hatchback bodies, the lineup includes station wagon kia Ceed SW(JD).

The option that made the car so popular automatic transmission. Boxes produced in South Korea, which Sid was equipped with, have long enjoyed respect and authority among motorists, due to the reliability and quality of workmanship. It is known that the machine works without problems, throughout the life of the mortgaged, it is necessary in time in the Kia Sid automatic transmission and, if necessary, replaced with a new fluid.

The need to replace the ATF fluid

During the release, the Kia Ceed car was equipped with three models. These are automatic four-speed transmissions A4CF1 and A4CF2. Six speed electronic box, with increased comfort A6GF1. The machines are designed and manufactured by Hyundai Motor Group.

Automatic transmission Kia Sid: A6GF1

Changing the oil in the Kia Sid automatic transmission is a mandatory procedure for boxes, although manufacturers assure that transmissions are not serviced during their service life.

The fact is that the harsh operating conditions of the units leave their mark on. Grease fails to protect internal parts boxes, corrosion, wear and overheating adversely affect the resource of the machine.

Functions ATF fluid:

• • Layer formation protective film on the surfaces of parts and components of the gearbox;
  • Removal of excess heat of parts, assemblies and mechanisms of the gearbox;
  • Anti-corrosion transmission;
  • Resistance to friction and wear forces;
  • Transfer to gearbox parts;
  • Control and management of the gearbox;
  • Gearbox cleaning.

Sometimes a Kia Sid automatic transmission oil change is dictated not by mileage, but by other factors, for example, replacing a failed unit. Despite the technology used, the boxes are sensitive to lack of liquid. If you do not check the liquid level in time and allow a leak, the consequences are deplorable, up to the failure of the box.

Lack of oil leads to wear of the clutches of the machine. Insufficient pressure does not allow normal contact of parts and steel discs. Increased friction overheats the pads, carbonizes and contaminates the Kia Sid automatic transmission oil. Impurities in the oil affect the hydraulic unit, which does not tolerate the presence of solids in the fluid and wears out quickly. The wear of the hydraulic unit disables the plungers, the bushing, pump parts, pistons, and clutch wear out.

Besides, dirty oil, circulating through the Kia Sid automatic transmission, does not fully remove heat and does not lubricate parts. Saturation with impurities makes the oil an abrasive, which, acting on the mechanism, accelerates mechanical wear at times.

In order to prevent transmission failure and extend the service life, a partial oil change in Kia box SID is carried out every 30,000-40,000 km of run.

Checking the level of ATF fluid

Level Check Process transmission fluid carried out regularly, the only way to ensure full control over the technical condition of the machine. In addition, it does not miss the moment, in case an oil change is required in the Kia Sid automatic transmission as a result of an unexpected level drop, or other force majeure circumstances.

The developed habit of diagnosing the level before and after the trip will allow you to control the state of both cold liquid and warmed up to operating temperature. It is no coincidence that the dipstick installed in the gearbox has two marks (cold and hot check). Not matching the labels, a reason to think about the reason and contact service center for diagnostics.

The verification process is simple, the probe is removed from the mounting hole and the marks applied in pairs on the surface indicate how much liquid is present in the Kia Sid box. The lower pair of marks controls the level of cold oil, the upper pair, hot.

Dipstick automatic transmission Kia Sid:

It is important to control the condition of the oil in the box Kia car Sid. This should be done on, a couple of drops of liquid are applied to white paper and control the presence of impurities and color. The red color speaks normal condition fluid, brown or black indicates that the oil needs to be changed.

Features of replacing ATF fluid Kia Sid.

Due to differences in vehicle modifications, fluid replacement for units is carried out with some features. The process itself is identical for both the A4CF1, A4CF2 box and the A6GF1 box. The first two boxes are the same, the difference is in the presence of reinforced parts in the second modification. As for the A6GF1, the box is larger, the automatic transmission oil differs in quantity and marking, there are other nuances for the Kia Sid equipped with this unit.

As can be seen from the table, changing the oil in the automatic transmission of Kia Sid cars manufactured in 2011 and 2013 has features regarding the difference in the materials used.

Replacement process

The process of replacing the transmission fluid is carried out both at a specially equipped station and independently. Self-replacement involves partial shift oil, since the box is designed so that some of the liquid remains.

For replacement, in addition to materials corresponding to the automatic transmission model (see table above), you will need:

1. Key, size 24 mm;
2. Container for old oil;
3. Funnel;
4. Degreaser.

ATF fluid replacement process:

• We warm up the gearbox, install the car on a lift;
• We unscrew the drain plug, drain the old liquid;
• We twist the drain plug;
• Fill in automatic transmission new fluid, equal to the amount of poured lubricant;
• We start power plant;
• We translate the gearshift to possible modes, delay 30 seconds;
• We turn off the power plant, drain the transmission fluid;
• Repeat the procedure until the drained oil is clean;
• We remove the pallet with magnets, clean and degrease;
• Remove and change the box filter element;

Kia Sid, automatic transmission filter element:

• We assemble the parts in the reverse order with the replacement of seals;
• We twist the drain plug of the box;
• Fill with new fluid to the correct level.

After replacing, we start the engine for 5 minutes, turn off and control the level. The control is also carried out after a run of 20-30 kilometers, in order to verify the tightness of the product after reaching the operating temperature.

Kia Sid promotes the lubrication process in the car, making the ride smooth, calm and confident. That is why it is important that the replacement occurs systematically.

The oil in the gearbox protects the gearbox from friction and helps the engine perform its essential functions. In the article you will find out how much oil in a Kia Sid automatic transmission will be required and how the replacement is carried out.

Much depends on the oil and on the filter element, which extends the life of the replaced lubricant. Do not forget that with the change of "liquid" the filter part should also be replaced, otherwise the dirt from the filter will go into new grease.

[ Hide ]

What kind of oil and how much

The volume of the oil element for a Kia Sid car is about 7 liters. If you want to replace with flushing, you will need 10-12 liters. For automatic transmissions, several types of brands are suitable. Choose from Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF or DIAMOND ATF SP III. The manufacturer recommends filling the original lubricant in the automatic transmission.

An oil change is made every 70-80 thousand km. Pay attention to color, smell and texture. If the oil is suddenly dark or smells unpleasant, or is sticky, you need to change it urgently. If after the change it quickly turned into its previous state, then most likely there are problems with the gearbox. It is necessary to take the car to a service center for diagnostics.

View of old and new oil

Tools

Prepare:

• key;
• new transmission fluid;
• drain container;
• syringe.

Instruction

First, a few words on how the replacement is made in the manual transmission (start from this in the future).

1. Unscrew the drain plug located on the manual transmission pan.
2. Take off oil filter with manual transmission.
3. Completely drain the old oil from the manual transmission, you can use the drain plug.
4. Pump out the remains from the crankcase with a syringe.
5. Now pour fresh liquid. Pour until it pours out of the compartment.
6. Check the level with a dipstick.
7. Put on a new oil element. And screw the plug.

There is also a replacement in the automatic transmission.

It's a little more difficult. The operation is carried out on a special stand. Then the old grease will merge completely. If you pour out, and then fill in a new one, there will be little use, because the bulk will remain in the torque converter. It is better not to save, but to hand over the car to a service center. We decided to try to do it ourselves, repeat all the points described above and drain / fill in new grease at least three times!

The oil level is at the edge of the control hole. It is located on the gearbox housing in front in the direction of travel. If you can't reach the fluid level with your finger, add oil.

Tip: if the machine is under warranty, take it to a service center, because after the first self replacement it will be removed from warranty.
