The oil in the gearbox must be changed every 90,000 km. Oil change work is carried out on a flyover or viewing hole. Before changing the oil, warm it up by driving the car for at least 10 km. It is recommended to plan in advance for changing the oil in the car's gearbox Hyundai Accent after a long trip.
Use a rag to clean the gearbox housing around the drain and filler holes. Next, you need to substitute an empty container with a volume of at least 2.5 liters under the drain hole.
With the “24” key, we loosen the plug drain hole and finally we make the eversion of the cork manually.
The connection between the plug and the gearbox housing is sealed with a metal washer.
Drain the oil into a container. If necessary, replace the sealing washer of the drain plug with a new one. Cleansing seat and a cork magnet and wrap the cork with a torque of 35-45 Nm. Using the “17” key, unscrew the filler plug. Fill with a syringe transmission oil into the gearbox to the required level and wrap the plug.
Checking the oil level in the manual transmission of a Hyundai Accent car
It is necessary to check the oil level in the gearbox every 10,000 km of run, as well as when oil leaks are found on the gearbox crankcase. We carry out work on a flyover or a viewing ditch. We check the oil level through the control (filler) hole, which is located in front of the gearbox housing.
A metal sealing washer is installed under the plug. Replace the defective washer with a new one.
The oil level in the gearbox should be at the level of the lower edge of the filler hole, which can be checked with a finger. If necessary
using a syringe for filling transmission oil, add oil to the gearbox to the lower edge of the hole (oil will begin to flow out of the hole). When excess oil flows out, remove oil drips with a rag. We wrap the cork with a moment of 30-42 Nm.
Recommendations for the maintenance of an automatic transmission
The automatic transmission does not require special maintenance during operation. Every 10,000 km, it is necessary to check the level and condition of the fluid in the box. The liquid must be clear. A fine suspension, clearly visible on white paper, brown, and even more so black color of the liquid indicate a strong wear of the friction clutches. We also check the level when fluid leaks are detected on the gearbox housing.
Attention: Checking the level is carried out only on the gearbox warmed up to operating temperature.
To warm up the liquid, we make a trip of 10-15 km or start the engine and let it run for Idling while the liquid in the box warms up. We install the car on a flat horizontal platform. We fix the car parking brake and place chocks under the wheels. We start the engine and sequentially move the lever from the “P” position to other positions to ensure maximum fluid circulation in the gearbox. Having let the box work in all modes, we return the gear selector to the “P” position.
Attention: Getting even a small amount of grains of sand into the internal cavity of the box is unacceptable. Therefore, before removing the oil level indicator, it is necessary to carefully remove all deposits on the surfaces of the parts around it.
We take out the liquid level indicator from the guide tube.
The edge of the liquid film should be between the "COLD" and "HOT" marks on the pointer. We add fluid to the gearbox through a funnel into the indicator well in small portions, constantly monitoring the fluid level.
Attention: Do not exceed the maximum allowable level liquids, as this can cause the box to fail.
The condition of the gearbox is assessed during test drive by car. When working in all modes, we pay attention to the smoothness of gear shifting. With moderate pressure on the "gas" pedal, the upshift should occur without a noticeable increase in engine speed. We also check forced inclusion low gears in kickdown mode.
In the event of a malfunction in the automatic transmission the electronic unit engine control switches on the instrument panel control lamp malfunctions of the engine management system and stores the fault code, which can later be read at the service center.
Lubrication allows Hyundai transmissions Accent run smoothly, effectively change the torque. The functioning of mechanics / automation is directly dependent on the properties of the oil that is poured into it.
Oil change in a Hyundai Accent boxmust be done correctly and in a timely manner. Only in this case will your vehicle will last a long time.
Oil Fluid Selection and Required Tools
Today there are many different lubricants for checkpoint Accent. They are categorized according to accepted specifications. You need to be able to choose the right one for specific car lubricant.
If you read the operating manual, you can understand which consumable the automaker recommends pouring into the Hyundai Accent automation. These are Mitsubishi Diamond SP-3 and ZIK SP-3. The manufacturer is not responsible for the consequences of using oily liquids different from those indicated.
The frequency with which it is necessary to change the car oil in the Accent manual transmission is ninety thousand kilometers or every six years. It is advisable to use "Hyundai Genuin Pats 75w85", "TGO-7", "ZIK G-F TOP 75w85".
To change the oil in an automatic transmission / manual transmission, you will need:
- pallet lining;

Automation
It is worth noting that it is possible to change the oil in a Hyundai Accent automatic transmission either completely or partially. Below you can see the algorithm full shift. It looks complicated, but in reality the procedure is quite easy, although it takes a lot of time. To simplify the oil change in the box with your own hands, you can call a partner.
Mechanics
- Warm up the engine.
- Place the machine on a ditch/trestle.
- Place a bucket under the drain.
- Unscrew the drain cap with a twenty-four key.
- While the old oil is pouring, clean the drain cap, change the washer.
- Screw the cover with a force of 30-35 Nm.
- Unscrew oil cap filler neck.
- Using a syringe or a funnel with a hose, pour a fresh consumable into the gearbox.
Replace washer, close cover. The tightening torque should be 25-30 Nm.
When the owner of the car Hyundai car Accent is starting to worry about changing gear oil in mechanical box gear changes (manual transmission), then he needs to look into service book. And it says that the first oil change should be carried out when the car reaches a mileage equal to 90 thousand kilometers. Then two more questions arise. How much oil is required to fill in the manual transmission crankcase and what brand of oil to purchase.
The answer to the first question is simple, since the volume of oil poured into the crankcase Manual transmission Hyundai Accent has always been equal to 2.15 liters. Considering that the pre-sale packaging of gear oil is carried out in one liter cans, then they will have to buy, three pieces. On the one hand, this is good, since pouring oil into the manual transmission crankcase is not very convenient and some of it may spill. But there is no definite answer to the last question, since not all owners of this car adhere to the recommendations of the manufacturer, who advises filling HYUNDAI oil GENUINE PARTS MTF viscosity class according to SAE 75W-90 and API group not lower than GL-4.
Changing the oil in the manual transmission crankcase is not so difficult; even the driver himself can do it. Only this work must be done immediately after the trip, while the oil is hot, as in this case it will drain faster and more completely. Therefore, you need to prepare for an oil change in advance.
This will require:
- a pair of open-end or box wrenches (24 and 17), for unscrewing the drain and oil filler plugs;
- an old canister, with a cropped top, for draining used oil into it;
- funnel, with a piece of hose dressed on it, for pouring fresh oil.
First, unscrew the cork screwed into the hole through which you will then fill fresh oil. You need to do this so that the oil drains faster. Then turn away drain plug and clean it from metal particles adhering to it, transmission wear products. While the oil is draining, check on both plugs the condition of the aluminum sealing washers. If they are severely crushed, they should be replaced so that oil does not leak through these holes. As soon as the oil has drained, wrap the drain plug. Insert the end of the hose into the filler hole and pour oil through the funnel until it flows out. And it remains only to wrap the oil filler plug.
We show how to change the oil in a manual gearbox of a manual transmission of a Hyundai Accent 2 car with our own hands. The oil from the box, as well as from the engine, must be drained to a hot one, i.e. we drive 5-10 km before the procedure. The drain plug is unscrewed with a 24 key, it is located to the left of the engine. Under the drain plug there was an aluminum ring that stuck to the box, we tear it off and put a copper one in its place:
We have a magnetic drain plug, this is done in order to collect metal chips, be sure to clean it. Then we spin back. We clean the body of the box from dirt and oil with the help of a "carburetor cleaner". Loosen this screw:
And pour oil through the resulting hole. We take either a funnel with a long hose, or a syringe, whichever is more convenient for you. We will fill in ZIC 75w90 fully synthetic, it is necessary to fill in 2 liters 150 grams. There is also an aluminum washer on the filler neck bolt, we change it to a copper one. We twist right moment.

Many do not understand why it is necessary to change the oil in a mechanical box at all, the fact is that each oil has its own service life, for transmission oil it is 2-3 years or 60 thousand km. run. After that, it begins to lose its properties and exposes the mechanisms of the box to more wear.
The replacement of a gearshift on a Hyundai Accent must be carried out depending on its type, the load on it during operation, as well as on the use of the vehicle.
For automatic boxes shifting time from replacement to replacement is much less. In them, the change is recommended to be carried out approximately once every 90 thousand kilometers. But if you rarely drive your car, then the change is carried out every six years.
If your car has a manual gearbox, it should be replaced every 100 thousand kilometers. Also, in case of rare use of the machine, it is recommended to replace it every seven years.
As you can see, the mechanics are less picky. This difference is due to the fact that the mechanical box is more durable.
Why change
Of course, in our time, manufacturers automotive chemistry do a lot of research and introduce enough to the market quality product. But due to the nature of the chemical constituents different kind lubricants, over time, the oil loses a number of its properties and does not fully perform its functions. Gearbox grease is no exception; over time, it also needs to be replaced.
After the loss of some properties of the lubricant, the metal ones are not protected from mechanical damage during friction. It is also important that, due to the same friction, a deposit of small metal particles appears in the oil, which further adversely affect the internal mechanisms.
The choice of manual transmission oil for replacement
When choosing a lubricant to change in a manual gearbox car Accent several aspects need to be taken into account:
- car mileage;
- oil that was used to lubricate parts earlier;
- temperature conditions of the vehicle.
If the mileage of your car is very high and the rubber components of the gearbox no longer have their original properties, then the use of a synthetic lubricant does not make sense. Also, if earlier it was used to lubricate gearbox parts, then before changing the oil seals it makes no sense to use synthetics due to the fact that there will be a 100% leak.
From modern manufacturers automotive chemicals, products from the following companies are suitable for Hyundai Accent: Castrol, Liqui Moly, Motul, Ravenol, as well as the original lubricant from the manufacturer Hyundai / Kia.
Oil change algorithm in manual transmission Hyundai Accent
First of all, you need to find a drain and filler plugs. Usually these are the two largest bolts located with different parties. The drain plug is located at the very bottom of the box body, closer to the cabin of the car itself, and the filler plug is closer to the front of the car. After we have found the bolts we need, we unscrew the drain plug and substitute the vessel we prepared earlier. You can also unscrew another plug so that the used grease drains faster. After completely emptying the inside of the gearbox from the old lubricant, you need to tighten the drain plug and you can begin to fill in the new oil back. For you need to use a special syringe. After the filling process is completed, we twist the filler plug.
Mainly in Hyundai mechanic Accent holds about 2 liters of lubricant. As you can see, but you need to do everything carefully, so that later you don’t have to clean everything that has been mined.
