Checking Transmission Fluid Level

It’s important to check the transmission fluid level regularly to ensure that it is at the proper level. To check the transmission fluid level, follow these steps:

Park the Ioniq on a level surface.
Turn off the engine and allow it to cool down.
Open the hood and locate the transmission fluid dipstick. It is usually marked with a yellow or orange handle.
Pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean with a rag.
Reinsert the dipstick all the way into the tube.
Pull out the dipstick again and check the fluid level. The fluid level should be between the “Full” and “Add” marks on the dipstick.

Changing Transmission Fluid

Transmission fluid should be changed every 60,000 miles or every 5 years, whichever comes first. If you drive in severe conditions, such as in stop-and-go traffic or in dusty or muddy areas, you may need to change the transmission fluid more frequently.

Changing the transmission fluid is a complex process that requires specialized tools and equipment. It is best to have the transmission fluid changed by a qualified mechanic.

Conclusion

Knowing the correct transmission fluid capacity for your Hyundai Ioniq is essential to ensure proper lubrication and prevent damage to the transmission. By checking the transmission fluid level regularly and changing the fluid according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, you can help keep your Ioniq running smoothly for years to come.
