Changing the oil in a four-speed automatic transmission with a Hyundai Accent is a mandatory procedure. Although the hydraulic machine is unpretentious, it is difficult for him to endure hunger for oil or work in polluted mines. Such conditions will lead to the automatic transmission being repaired in advance.
Write in the comments, have you changed the oil on a Hyundai Accent?
Transmission oil change interval
The manufacturer indicates 120,000 kilometers before 1 change of transmission fluid in an automatic transmission. The operating conditions for boxing in Russia do not correspond to the mild climate of Europe or Japan. Therefore, it is recommended to reduce the replacement period to:
- 60 thousand kilometers for a complete oil change of the Hyundai Accent automatic transmission;
- 30,000 km for partial replacement of transmission fluid in an automatic transmission.
It connects the car owner’s not always correct and aggressive driving with difficult operating conditions. And cold starts at minus thirty can ruin not only the oil, but also damage the gearbox much faster.
It's time to change the lubricant in the Hyundai Accent automatic transmission when:
- vibrations emanating from the automatic transmission when parking at a traffic light or in traffic jams;
- the car overheats and computer diagnostics show that everything is in order with the components;
- The car shifts gears jerkily and jerkily.
- feel a burning smell when checking the lubricant level;
Attention! Therefore, we change the automatic transmission oil for the specified period. And take good care of your car. Always warm up your car 10 minutes before leaving when it's less than thirty outside.
If you do not change the oil in the Hyundai Accent automatic transmission in time, a dirty spin will lead to overheating in the summer and when going uphill. Overheating can lead to burnout of clutches and steel discs. Valves fail, and seals and gaskets dry out to the point that they begin to leak lubricant. Oil starvation begins, which further increases wear on the Hyundai Accent automatic transmission.
This is why it is so important to change the oil on time. Write in the comments how long has passed since changing the lubricant in a Hyundai Accent?
Replacement frequency and oil filling volume in the box
At the factory, the automatic transmission oil is filled with gear lubricant for the entire period of operation of the vehicle. However, the manufacturer recommends checking the fluid level in the automatic transmission after 120,000 km or after 96 months of vehicle operation.
At the same time, it happens that there is a need to change the lubricant “early”:
Answering the question of how much oil needs to be poured into the Accent automatic transmission, let’s say that 6.8 liters of ATF fluid will be needed to replace it. If you carry out a partial replacement, for example, when removing the gearbox pan, you will need to add 4 liters of oil. In case of replacement with flushing, you will need about 8 liters.
Practical advice on choosing oil in a Hyundai Accent automatic transmission
Not every lubricant sold on the market is useful for the Hyundai Accent gearbox. In this regard, novice motorists often ask me what kind of oil should be poured into the automatic transmission of this car.

Use only original fluid. It has the necessary technical properties and additives that help the car’s automatic transmission overcome overheating, wear due to friction, and increase mileage before major repairs.
For example, a non-viscous liquid will quickly penetrate all automatic transmission units and replace oil with a cooling radiator. In this case, overheating is excluded. The necessary technical properties of the oil, specified by the manufacturer, form a film on the rubbing parts that protects them from excessive abrasion.
Original oil
Attention! Do not mix synthetic oils and mineral-based fluids. This is harmful to the automatic transmission components.
For the 2007 Hyundai Accent with a 1.8-liter engine, the manufacturer has created only one original oil, which will be used in the automatic transmission. This is a Mitsubishi Diamond ATF SP III. Catalog number 4024800.
Automatic transmission oil Mobil ATF LT 71141
The amount of lubricant in the automatic transmission is 6 liters. A complete fluid change will take approximately 10 liters. Because when washing and removing old waste, the part will need to be drained.
For a partial replacement, 2 - 4 liters are enough. Depending on how well it will merge with the automatic transmission.
Analogs
If you do not sell Mitsubishi Diamond ATF SP III synthetics, you can fill in the following analogues:
- Ravenol SP III;
- Dia Queen SP III;
- Chevron SP III.
Only these oils with the SP III specification are complete analogues of the original Accent automatic transmission oil. Nobody will work anymore.

How much oil is in the machine
First generation X3, 1994-1999
The 1st generation Accent is the first Hyundai car of its own production. The car received an original design with elements of “sport” and an aerodynamically adjusted silhouette. Among the features of the front part, one can highlight a bumper with a large opening, as well as a narrow air intake slot instead of the usual radiator grille, which looked impressive against the backdrop of elongated headlights. As befits a budget model, the 1st generation Accent was optionally equipped with air conditioning, an audio system with four speakers, power windows and manually adjustable seats. With a body length of 4117 mm and a wheelbase of 2400 mm, the car had a very spacious interior and a trunk volume of 305 liters (for a sedan). The sedan and hatchback of the same name were equipped with 1.3 and 1.5 liter gasoline engines (60-90 hp).
Automatic transmission oil: volume – 8.5 liters with a complete change; 4.0-4.5 liters with partial replacement
Second generation LC, 1999-2006
The 2nd generation Accent turned out to be in demand on the Russian market, where it was produced until 2012, despite the official end of production back in 2005 (in Korea). This model still had three body types, including a three-door hatchback, but the sedan in Russia was considered the best-selling. The design of the Accent remained quite simple and original, but the car received a full-fledged radiator grille, and instead of narrow optics in the style of the Mazda MX-5 roadster, larger rounded headlights appeared. As a result, not a trace of the former “sport” remained. The interior materials have improved and new options have appeared, but overall the interior remains old-fashioned in the spirit of the 90s. In Russia, the car received a 1.5-liter engine with a power of 102 hp. s., manual transmission or automatic transmission, and the 1.6 engine (105 hp) was also available.
Automatic transmission oil: volume – 8.5 liters with a complete change; 4.0-4.5 liters with partial replacement
Third generation MC, 2006-2010
The 3rd generation Accent is built on a common platform with the Kia Rio. The body length and width have become greater than that of its predecessor, resulting in an increase in cabin height, wheelbase and additional space for rear passengers. The design of the front of the sedan and hatchback is distinguished by rounded headlights and a compact horizontal radiator grille. The developers paid attention to comfort and noise insulation, thanks to which the Accent was considered one of the quietest cars in its class. As for additional options, the car received EBD and ESP systems with traction control for the first time, and also had six airbags and active front head restraints. The 3rd generation accent was equipped with 1.4-1.6 petrol engines (95-112 hp) and a 110-horsepower 1.5-liter diesel engine.

Checking the level
The Hyundai Accent automatic transmission is one of those gearboxes that has a dipstick. Therefore, checking the level and condition of the transmission fluid will not be difficult even for a beginner.
The steps of the procedure are as follows:
- Warm up Hyundai Accent vehicles.
- Drive it for about five kilometers so that the oil becomes liquid and penetrates all components of the device.
- Stop on a level surface. Turn off the engine.
- Open the hood and unscrew the cap with the oil dipstick.
- Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a lint-free cloth.
- Insert the dipstick back into the hole in the automatic transmission and tighten it.
- Unscrew and remove. Look at the level. If it stands on o, then there is no shortage of oil. If it is lower, add about a liter of fresh oil to the automatic transmission.

Based on the fact that the four-speed automatic A4CF1-2/A4AF3 has a level dipstick, checking the Hyundai Accent oil level is carried out as follows:
- the vehicle is placed on a flat surface
- run the engine for 2 minutes
- move the automatic transmission selector to position P
- remove the oil level dipstick located under the hood
- forgive him and measure the oil
Ideally, the oil on the dipstick should be between the maximum and minimum marks. Deviation from these boundaries requires draining or adding oil to the machine.

- gloves;
- original oil based on SPIII;
- container for draining;
- oil filter with catalog number 46321 22731;
- English keys;
- ratchet and sockets;

What kind of oil to fill in the automatic transmission of Hyundai Accent
Original
The automatic transmission of a Hyundai Accent is filled with original Hyundai gear oil with ATF SP-III or IV specification, which is resistant to hot temperatures and has good frost resistance. In addition, this specification meets the latest environmental safety requirements and is a cost-effective alternative to other current specifications such as Dexron VI.
Unoriginal
Owners of Hyundai Accent cars can buy an alternative analogue oil for automatic transmissions that meets the parameters of the branded oil. Recently, products from private European and Asian lubricant manufacturers have turned out to be even better in quality than original oils. This is due to the fact that car companies do not produce oil themselves, but order it from specialized companies and produce it under their own brand (in this case, Hyundai). Therefore, you can opt for a more affordable alternative oil, but it is advisable to choose among well-known “substitutes”: Castrol Transmax ATF, Ravenol Dexron III, Shell Donax TX, etc.

Now you need to move on to the next step.
Washing the tray and removing chips
Pull the automatic transmission pan out from under the car and remove the carboliner plate. Remove the magnets and clean them of dust and shavings. Pay attention to the amount of metal powder on the magnets and at the bottom of the tray. If there is too much of it, then it's time to change the internal part of the torque converter.
If there is a smell of smoke coming from the shift cup, it means the clutches and steel discs are burnt out. Replace them. To do this you will need to disassemble the gearbox. But about disassembling the automatic transmission in another article.
Remove the gasket with a sharp object and smooth the edges. Degrease them. Place a new gasket over the sealant and allow the pan to dry.
Replacing the filter
Now unscrew the bolts securing the filter device.
- Remove the automatic transmission filter.
- Put on a new one.
- Tighten the bolts.
There is no need to rinse the filter. It won't do any good.
Write in the comments if you have had experience installing an old filter after replacing the transmission fluid. What happened to the machine gun, how long did it work.
Filling with new oil
Before replacing the old oil with a new one, you need to assemble all the components.
- Replace the pan.
- Tighten the bolts on it.
- Screw in the drain plug.
- Open the hood and unscrew the cap with the oil dipstick.
- Insert a funnel into the filler hole and begin to gradually pour in the lubricant.
After filling two liters, start the engine and start the car. Check level. If this is not enough, pour more. You will need about 3 liters of lubricant.

Complete replacement of transmission fluid in automatic transmission
A complete oil change in a Hyundai Accent automatic transmission is identical to a partial oil change. All stages are the same and are repeated one after another. Only after filling the oil should you not start the car, but perform the following steps:
- Remove the hose from the coolant return pipe on your 2007 Hyundai Accent 1.6L engine.
- Insert it into the neck of a five-liter bottle.
- Call your partner and ask him to start the car.
- Undeclared work will end up in a bottle.
- Wait for it to change color in the light.
- Ask your partner to turn off the engine.
- Reattach the hose to the fitting.
- Fill in as much transmission fluid as comes out of the bottle.
After this, you can tighten the filler hole with a pin and start the car. Drive the Hyundai Accent for up to 10 kilometers and check the oil level. If it doesn't reach "Hot", add a little.

How often do you need to change the fluid in the box?
Basic recommendations for changing lubricant are contained in the vehicle maintenance and operating instructions. This does not mean that the oil cannot become unusable before the deadline. Premature oil wear is influenced by a number of unfavorable factors, which significantly increase the mechanical wear of transmission parts and shorten the service life of transmission oil. Among such factors are:
- Significant and alternating loads on the gearbox. This happens when transporting heavy loads and overloading with extra passengers. Alternating loads occur when slipping as a result of driving on bad roads. Sandy, gravel and slippery road surfaces contribute to sudden changes in loads in the gearbox.
- Urban cycle. Traffic around the city is characterized by constant stops and movement at a minimum speed. This leads to increased wear on automatic transmission mechanisms and premature wear of the hydraulic fluid.
- High temperature operating conditions lead to premature wear and oxidation of the oil. Low temperature conditions significantly increase the viscosity of the lubricant and disrupt its normal circulation in the system. This leads to disruption of the automatic transmission and premature wear of the lubricant.
To check the quality of the oil in your Hyundai, use the following method:
- take a blank sheet of white paper;
- pull out the dipstick and apply a couple of drops of oil from the box to the sheet;
- the lubricant should be transparent and free of foreign inclusions; if the lubricant is cloudy and black in color, change it as soon as possible.
You also need to remember that you should not buy filters from dubious manufacturers. Buy only original components - this will extend the life of the gear oil.

Replacement process
Changing the oil in an automatic transmission on a Hyundai Accent is carried out in several ways: partially, as planned at a service station, and completely.
Required tools:
- new pan gasket;
- set of keys and socket heads;
- hexagon;
- containers for processing;
- funnel and hose;
- flat screwdriver;
- new fluid.
First stage
In order to drain old oil from a Hyundai Accent automatic transmission, you need to warm up the transmission.
Procedure for draining liquid:
- Place the car horizontally on the inspection hole;
- Set the selector to neutral;
- The oil expansion tank is located at the bottom of the crankcase. In order to gain access to the drain, it is necessary to remove the protective cover by unscrewing the fastening bolts;
- Use a wrench to unscrew the drain plug, first placing a container for waste;
- Allow the used oil to drain for 5-10 minutes until small drops appear;
- Unscrew the 13 bolts of the pan and remove it. Liquid may also drain from the surface, but it is important not to burn your hands;
- The surface of the pan should be washed from dust and dirt, and any remaining liquid should be removed.
Second phase
After all the oil has been drained from the box, you need to check its condition for the presence of foreign substances. If metal shavings and carbon deposits are observed in the waste, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the gearbox and pan from impurities. To do this, you need to purchase a special flushing agent or use new oil.
Procedure for flushing the automatic transmission:
- Tighten the drain plug and find the filler neck under the hood;
- Pour in 6 liters of flushing and start the engine;
- After a minute, start switching the selector through all gears one by one, holding each gear for 15-20 seconds;
- Stop the engine and drain the flush.
The procedure must be repeated at least 3 times.
