The most important condition for the long-term operation of any automatic transmission is timely maintenance. This is especially true of modern, more advanced boxes.
KIA Sportage 3 - pure Korean
Changing the oil in the automatic transmission of a KIA Sportage 3 car is not the most difficult procedure. With a careful approach, changing the working fluid on this car is possible even in the absence of specific knowledge on the structure and principle of operation of the automatic transmission lubrication system. It is enough to follow the instructions clearly and be careful when performing work.
In the material of the article, we will consider two options for replacing the lubricant in the KIA Sportage 3 machine: full and partial.
What oil and when to change
The scheduled period for changing the oil in the automatic box of a KIA Sportage 3 car is 90 thousand kilometers. Some sources claim that the lubricant in the automatic transmission of this car can not be changed at all if the operating conditions are normal. However, this is doubtful information.
Even under normal conditions, when abnormal loads are excluded, the ATF fluid turns black after a run of 90 thousand km. A large amount of wear products accumulate in its volume, which the magnet is not able to accumulate on itself in the required volume, and these abrasive particles circulate freely through the system. Additives also decompose and the base degrades.
Therefore, it is better to replace it no later than indicated in the regulations. If the car is operated in difficult conditions, then the mileage between the next replacements is reduced to 60 thousand km.
The following operational factors can be attributed to severe ones:
- mountainous or rough terrain;
- bad roads with many bumps;
- sandy or snowy terrain where the wheels have to slip periodically;
- frequent trips over short distances;
- the ambient temperature is above 32 ° C for more than half of the entire time the car is running;
- the systematic use of the car as a traction unit for transporting trailers;
- the use of a car as a police, rescue, medical or other service crew.
It is necessary to control the level of the lubricating fluid at least once every 30 thousand km. early recommended in the following cases:
- the machine starts to malfunction (speeds are switched with a delay, tangible shocks appear), and no traces of mechanical malfunctions were found;
- there was a leak or a forced drain for maintenance or repair at a mileage close to the scheduled one;
- the car has been sitting idle for a long time (more than 3 years).
When choosing a lubricant, follow the manufacturer's recommendations. The KIA Sportage 3 automatic transmission is filled with SP-IV class transmission fluid. It is recommended to pour the original oil from KIA.
However, many drivers use analogues of the same class from other manufacturers. However, no negative effects are observed. As practice has shown, it is quite enough to update the ATF fluid in the box no later than the scheduled period for its long and trouble-free operation.
Replacement tools
To change the oil in a KIA Sportage 3 automatic transmission, you will need a relatively small list of tools. It all depends on whether a full or partial replacement will be performed.
Let's first consider the minimum set for a partial renewal of the lubricant:
- socket or open-end wrench 24 (for the drain bolt);
- wrench 22 or a square with a facet of 8 (for the breather bolt);
- wrench for 8 (for bolts of metal bottom protection);
- empty container with a capacity of at least 5 liters for testing;
- funnel for pouring;
- copper ring under the drain plug;
- clean rag;
- 5 liters of oil.
If a complete replacement is planned, then the following will be additionally required:
- pliers and a screwdriver (for dismantling the air filter and air ducts, as well as removing clamps from the automatic transmission oil supply and return hoses to the cooling radiator);
- plastic bottle with a volume of 1.5–2 liters;
- additional 3 liters of oil;
- an assistant who will start and stop the engine to drain mining.
- You can also optionally replace the rubber ring under the control plug.
Types of oil change
As is the case with most modern automatic transmissions, changing the oil in the KIA Sportage 3 automatic transmission provides for two options:
- partial replacement;
- complete replacement.
In the case of a partial renewal of automatic transmission lubrication, the old oil is not completely removed from the system. The volume of drained treatment is about 5 liters. This is slightly more than half.
If a complete replacement is made, then it provides for the renewal of the entire volume of lubricant with the complete removal of used oil and the filling of new oil. In any case, at the end of the work, the oil level is checked through the control hole.
Before starting work, the car is placed on a viewing hole or lifted on a lift. The bottom protection is dismantled (plastic on clips and metal on screws). The automatic transmission warms up to operating temperature (55-65 ° C). After that, the tool and empty containers are prepared.
Partial replacement
With a partial oil change in an automatic transmission, do the following:
In this case, it is not necessary to drain the oil through the drain hole, even with a strong overflow. It is enough to wait until the liquid exits through the control hole until a thin stream or drops form.
note
Partial replacement will allow you to update the oil by about 60-65%. If there were no complaints about the operation of the automatic transmission, the oil is relatively clean and does not smell like burning - this option is quite suitable.
Complete oil change
With a complete replacement, it is necessary to perform all the actions as with a partial one up to the point with starting and warming up. After pouring approximately 5 liters of liquid, the following is performed:
Old used and new automatic transmission oil Sportage 3
After that, the return hose is put on in its place and the air filter housing is installed. This completes the complete oil change in the KIA automatic box.
Self-changing oil in an automatic transmission KIA Sportage 3 - video
The prestigious Korean car KIA Sportage III is a worthy successor to its predecessor of the second generation. This vehicle is equipped with an economical six-speed Kia Sportage. Like the entire presented machine, the automatic transmission is characterized by reliable technical indicators and unpretentious maintenance. An oil change in an automatic transmission Kia Sportage 3 is done in one of two ways: partial or complete transmission change.
Description of automatic transmission oil change methods Kia Sportage 3
Many owners maintain their vehicles themselves. For the successful implementation of this event, you need to study in detail the intricacies of each oil change operation in the Kia Sportage 3 automatic transmission.
Most often, a simplified method is used to partially change the oil in an automatic gearbox. This does not require specialized equipment and complex fixtures. However, this method has significant drawbacks. The main one is the lack of a guarantee in 100% replacement of the ATP transmission fluid in the vehicle's lubrication system. In this case, there is a partial mixing of the new composition with the old substance.
To increase the percentage of fresh transmission material in the automatic transmission lubrication system, this procedure is carried out not in one, but in two steps.
When performing a complete lubricant change in the Kia Sportage 3 automatic transmission, you will need:
- get a special washing machine;
- connect the device to the automatic transmission through hoses;
- pump fluid under pressure through the entire transmission system.
In the process of pumping the working fluid through the entire transmission, the old spent composition is completely removed from the valve body and other secluded places in the box crankcase. Simultaneously with the removal of the old composition, the entire lubrication system of the machine is filled with fresh transmission ATF oil.
The advantages of a complete replacement of the lubricant in the automatic box:
- Ensuring 100% renewal in the automatic transmission.
- Increase the time period between vehicle service.
- Improving the technical characteristics of the lubricant.
- Noticeable lightening and shifting comfort.
- The absence of negative manifestations in the operation of the car (slippage of friction clutches, automatic transmission slippage, shocks, vibrations, incorrect operation of the valve body, etc.).
Cons of the second method:
- this method cannot be used at home;
- the need for an increased amount of consumables;
- relatively high cost of ATP branded gear oil;
- the services of qualified service stations are a relatively expensive service.
Conclusion: According to most car owners, a partial do-it-yourself oil change in a garage is the best alternative to the high-cost event of a complete replacement of transmission material in service centers.
What oil to fill in automatic transmission Kia Sportage 3rd generation
It is known that in order to ensure the stable operation of the automatic transmission during the declared operational period, it is necessary to use transmission oils only of recommended grades. The following working materials are best suited for the Kia Sportage 3 vehicle:
- Hyundai SP-4.
- Castrol Transmax E.
- Shell Spirax S4.
- Allison C4.
- Dexron 3.
The first two positions from the list presented are the most suitable original oils for this car model.
How much oil will you need to buy in order to carry out a partial or complete replacement of the working fluid in a Kia automatic transmission:
- partial replacement - 6 liters of ATP;
- hardware (full) - not less than 12 liters, respectively.
Tip: To ensure the stability of the car during a long winter period, experienced car owners recommend changing the transmission oil in the Kia Sportage 3 automatic transmission on the eve of the winter months. It is necessary to let the box work on fresh grease before the onset of frost. This contributes to a significant extension of the operational life of the working units and mechanisms of the automatic transmission.
ATP lubricant change interval
After how many kilometers is service maintenance of an automatic transmission carried out? Based on the manufacturer's recommendations, a complete replacement of transmission oil in the Kia Sportage 3 automatic transmission should be carried out after 60,000 km of the distance traveled. If a decision is made to change the lubricant using the partial replacement method, the set time period is automatically halved. This means that when using the method of partial change of transmission fluid in automatic transmission, activities are carried out after a run of 30,000 km.
Subject to the presented regulations for updating the transmission fluid in the gearbox, it is possible to significantly extend the operational life of an automatic transmission of a car without the use of additional additives.
Simultaneously with the replacement of the working lubricant in the box, the automatic transmission filter of the Kia Sportage 3 must be changed.
List of necessary consumables and tools
Before changing the transmission oil in the Kia Sportage 3 automatic transmission, it is recommended to prepare a special elevated platform with a viewing hole for installing the vehicle on a convenient hill (overpass). For work, you will also need tools and fixtures:
- A new batch of ATF gear oil.
- Set of wrenches.
- Pliers.
- A container in the form of an empty bucket or basin, with a volume of at least five liters, for collecting used oil.
- Funnel in the filler neck of the gearbox.
- Rubber hose of the appropriate diameter.
- Composition for the treatment of carburetors (useful for cleaning the pan).
- Automatic transmission pan gasket.
- New oil filter.
The procedure for replacing lubricant in automatic transmission: Kia Sportage do-it-yourself
Direct work begins with a thorough warm-up of the working fluid in the gearbox to the operating temperature. To do this, you need to start the engine and drive the car for several kilometers within seven minutes. This is especially true in winter, when the ambient temperature is below zero. Fulfillment of this condition is necessary to dilute the transmission oil located inside the automatic gearbox. Hot low viscosity oil drains faster and easier from the automatic transmission crankcase.
Tip: To speed up the process, experienced craftsmen additionally remove the dipstick from the automatic transmission, while air enters the box.
The algorithm of actions for changing the oil in an automatic transmission:
- Place the car on a ramp.
- Stop the engine.
- Apply the parking brake.
- Place a prepared container under the gearbox drain hole.
- Unscrew the drain plug located at the bottom of the box crankcase. It is known that in this case, not all the lubricating fluid flows out of the box. Almost half of the transmission lubricant remains in the valve body and automatic transmission torque converter.
- When the oil stops draining, dismantle the automatic transmission pan. To do this, the fixing bolts are unscrewed in the amount of 21 pieces and the remaining oil (approximately 200 ml) is carefully poured into the container.
- Remove clogged oil filter and magnets.
- Remove metal chips and other harmful deposits, in the form of dirt and emulsion, magnets and the oil pan of the box.
- When cleaning the sump, use a carburetor solution or ordinary gasoline.
- Remove the remains of the worn pan gasket and install a new sealing element using sealant.
- Close drain hole.
- Fill with new gear oil using the dipstick holes. For this, a prepared funnel and hose are used. The volume of liquid to be filled must correspond to the amount of waste material previously removed.
- Check the level of filled oil. It should be at the center of the dipstick.
After filling the new transmission oil in the automatic transmission, you need to turn on the engine and drive the oil through the automatic gearbox, switching the gear selector several times to different modes with some delay (approximately five seconds) in each position.
Interesting: In the automatic transmission of the Kia Sportage 3 car, an oil filter is installed, equipped not with the usual steel mesh, but with a two-layer element made of special felt. This filter media cannot be re-cleaned or reconditioned. The mechanism is completely dismantled and a new oil filter of a similar design is installed.
If during the process of updating the transmission oil in the automatic transmission of the vehicle, the filter mechanism is not replaced, the oil pressure in the transmission lubrication system will drop sharply. As a result, the gearbox will start to work unstably, when shifting gears, noticeable ones will appear. The process of changing gear will be delayed. The oil channels of the automatic transmission valve body will quickly become clogged, dangerous ones will begin, unscheduled expensive repairs will be required.
Kia Sportage 3 is equipped with either a manual transmission (5-speed for a 2-liter petrol engine and 6-speed for a 2-liter diesel engine) or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Manual Transmission
Car modifications with a 2-liter gasoline engine are equipped with 5-speed transmission model M5GF1. It is installed in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions of the crossover and has design features depending on the type of drive. Kia Sportage with a 2-liter diesel engine is aggregated 6 speed gearbox M6GF2. Specifications for the two types of mechanical transmissions are shown in the table below.
| Parameter | M5GF1 | M6GF2 |
|---|---|---|

| 6th gear | - | 0.732 |
| Reverse | 3.416 | |
| General gear ratio | 4.533 | 4.643/3.421 |
Automatic transmission
For modifications with a 2-liter gasoline engine, installation is provided automatic transmission model A6MF1, for versions with a 2-liter diesel - models A6LF2. Both boxes have almost the same design and are arranged according to the traditional scheme - torque converter + planetary gear. The differences are in gear ratios and the diameter of the torque converter. The gearbox mounted on a crossover with a 4WD drive additionally has a flange for attaching the transfer case. Speed switching is carried out using electronic control unit, which analyzes many parameters and determines the optimal moment for switching. The characteristics of the automatic transmissions installed on the Kia Sportage 3 are shown in the table.

Kia Sportage 3 is one of the most popular crossovers in Russia. The car is famous for its reliability and unpretentiousness in maintenance. But in order for the units to serve for a long time (meaning the engine and gearbox), it is necessary to carry out periodic preventive maintenance, namely an oil change. Any car owner knows about the engine - this operation must be performed every 10 thousand kilometers. But not everyone knows about the checkpoint, especially the automatic one. But she also needs what to pour and how to change it at all? We will talk about this in our today's article.
Ways
Today, there are two methods for changing the oil in an automatic transmission:
· Partial. In this case, the operation involves only updating the fluid. This option is the easiest for owners of used cars (especially those whose car is no longer under warranty). The operation is performed independently, without the help of specialized tools. But, unfortunately, there are also disadvantages of a partial double replacement of ATF oil in automatic transmissions. Replacement does not guarantee that the fluid will be 100 percent new. The new ATP fluid will only partially mix with the old one. Therefore, such an operation is performed twice in one replacement schedule.
· Full. How is the oil change performed in the automatic transmission "Kia Sportage" 3? This method involves the use of a special washer. It is connected to the box through special hoses and pumps liquid under pressure. Old oil comes out. At the same time, new fluid is pumped into the system. Among the advantages of this method, it is worth noting the better maintenance of the automatic transmission. An automatic transmission oil change will not be required as often as in the case of a partial method. After all, the system is filled with 100 percent new fluid. But that's where all the pluses end. The main disadvantage of the method is that it cannot be repeated at home. Also, for a complete oil change in an automatic transmission with a Kia Sportage 3, much more ATP fluid will be required. And it's not cheap. Well, plus everything you need to pay for the work of the masters at the service station.
Which method is better to choose? If a do-it-yourself oil change in an automatic transmission is made on a Kia Sportage 3 car, a partial method is the only suitable option.
What to pour and how much?
What oil to use for the third generation Kia Sportage automatic transmission? Experts recommend using the original Hyundai SP-4 or Castrol Transmax E oil. As analogues, you can consider "Shell Spirax S4" and "Zik ATF S4". Good reviews are received by products from Allison. For Kia Sportage, Allison C4 oil is suitable. Another good oil is Dexron 3. In terms of volume, a partial oil change in a Kia Sportage 3 automatic transmission will require up to six liters of ATP fluid. In the event that a hardware (full) replacement is made, it is necessary to prepare about twelve liters. But we will not consider this method.
Useful advice: car owners recommend changing the oil in the Kia Sportage 3 automatic transmission on the eve of winter. During this period of time it will be better if the box runs on fresh oil. This will slightly extend the life of automatic transmission mechanisms and assemblies.
Tools
For a successful replacement, we need:
· A standard set of keys and heads (in particular, "for 10" and "for 14").
Pliers (or we'll loosen the clamps on the hose).
· Empty used oil container. Its volume must be at least five liters.
· Plastic funnel and hose.
Carburetor cleaning fluid (it needs to process the box pan).
We also need a new gasket for the pan and filter. Fluid replacement work must be done in the pit. In the absence of such, you can use a jack, but it will be inconvenient.
Getting Started
So, first we install the car on a pit or overpass and warm up the box. It is enough to let the car run for 5-7 minutes at idle. This will be especially useful for liquids in cold weather. The heated oil will be less viscous and will merge faster from the box. And to further arrange the process, you can remove the probe from the box in order to ensure the flow of air inside.
Next, we find a plastic plug, which is located at the bottom of the crankcase of an automatic box. We unscrew it and immediately substitute an empty container for draining. After a couple of minutes, the liquid will stop flowing from the box. But it is worth remembering that half of the volume still remains in the torque converter and valve body.
Please note: the automatic transmission drain plug on the Kia Sportage is not in the most convenient place. Therefore, many motorists drain the fluid through the radiator hose, after loosening its clamp with pliers.
Next, remove the tray itself. It is mounted on bolts in the amount of 21 pcs. It is necessary to remove the pan very carefully, since part of the liquid (about two hundred milliliters) may remain in it. The oil filter will remain at the top. You need to extract it and install a new one (we'll talk about it at the end of the article). Also, do not forget about the filter on the pallet. These are small magnets that hold the products of development in themselves. Before installing the pallet, it is imperative to clean it of these chips. Not a superfluous operation will be washing the cavity of the pallet. How to do it? It is necessary to spray the carburetor cleaner and wipe everything dry with a rag. Ordinary gasoline does just fine. This will remove most of the emulsion and dirt that was at the bottom of the automatic transmission. After that, you can safely install the pallet in place. But you need to put it on a new gasket. The old one is no longer suitable for reuse.
After that, we twist the drain plug and use a funnel and a hose to fill in new fluid through the dipstick. You only need to pour exactly how much has flowed out of the box when replacing. Ideally, the oil level should be in the middle.
What's next?
Now the matter is small. You need to start the engine and drive the oil in the box. To do this faster, you can switch automatic transmission modes several times with a delay of five seconds. Then we turn off the engine and once again check the fluid level on the dipstick. If it has become less, we resume the level to a normal level.
About the filter
Many people think that for a long and trouble-free operation of an automatic transmission, it is enough to change only the oil in it. But this is a delusion. Both the ATP fluid and the filter change. On such boxes, a two-layer felt element is installed. It cannot be cleaned and is replaced entirely with a new one. Why is it so important? The fact is that a clogged filter can cause a drop in oil pressure in the box.
Because of this, there are various kicks and jolts, as well as delays when shifting gears. Do not forget about the sediment at the bottom of the pan. Over time, it begins to clog the channels of the valve body and solenoids. Because of this, kicks are also possible when shifting gears.
How often to change?
The manufacturer regulates the next oil change period in automatic transmission - 60 thousand kilometers. But this is applicable only when carrying out a complete fluid change at the stand. If a partial method is used, this period must be halved. Thus, the repeated replacement (or rather update) of the oil will be after 30 thousand kilometers.
Conclusion
So, we figured out how to change the oil in the Kia Sportage automatic transmission. By adhering to the given regulations and replacing filters, you can significantly extend the life of an automatic transmission without any additives. But do not save on consumables. A cheap filter and oil will not guarantee a long transmission life, even if the work is completed on time.
In this article, I will briefly outline what most often breaks down on a Kia Sportage 3 car, model 2010-2016, with the factory designation Sl or Sle. I work at a service station and have practical experience in this matter. It will describe not only the typical "diseases" of the sportage, but also how to treat them. The article is designed to save the owner of such a car from many hours of searching for information in sections of automotive forums. It will also be useful to those who are just going to buy a used Sportage, because it is important to understand what should be checked when buying. If I suddenly missed something from the view, write in the comments.
All wheel drive not working!
A very common malfunction in the 3rd generation Sportage is a breakdown of the all-wheel drive system. It occurs even when the car is operated exclusively as an urban "SUV", without using the all-wheel drive lock function. After all, even if you do not press the 4WD lock button, the control unit automatically connects the rear axle at moments of sharp acceleration when starting off, or when the front wheels slip. Torque is constantly redistributed by the ITM unit between the front and rear wheels in a proportion from 100% - 0% to 50% - 50%, respectively.
There are two all-wheel drive malfunctions on the Sportage:
- breakdown of the all-wheel drive coupling (PP);
- corrosion of the spline connection between the gearbox (gearbox) and transfer case;
Moreover, the second malfunction occurs much more often than the first.
Malfunction of the PP engagement clutch
All-wheel drive clutch, Sportage; 1 - clutch package, 2 - pump
It manifests itself as follows: there is no connection of the rear wheels, even in the 4WD lock mode (that is, with the button pressed), while the 4WD system malfunction lamp on the instrument panel is on. It is important that the cardan shaft rotates during this!
In general terms, the clutch is a conventional system with a multi-plate clutch pack that compresses under oil pressure. The pressure is generated by a pump mounted on the clutch housing.
Error codes "P1832 Clutch Thermal Overstress Shutdown" or "P1831 Clutch Thermal Overstress Warning" appear. Here is a detailed description of what exactly breaks in this case and how it can be repaired.
Especially often this happens when the clutch is overheated, with prolonged slippage. Or with frequent use of the 4WD lock mode. But this mode is intended only for short-term use on a site with difficult road conditions. Do not drive for a long time with the 4WD lock button pressed.
The problem is solved by replacing the PP clutch assembly. The part is not cheap, but there are companies that provide clutch repair services. These services are easy to find online.
Another possible failure is a malfunction of the clutch pump itself. In this case, error code P1822 or P1820 occurs. On this issue, KIA even issued a service bulletin, according to which of. the dealer must replace the clutch assembly.
If the car is not under warranty, you need to replace the pump separately, which will be much cheaper. Only the new pump has already been modified, and requires the purchase of wiring for it.
Part Numbers: 4WD Clutch Pump - 478103B520, pump wiring 478913B310
The price of a pump with wiring is approximately 22,000 rubles.
If you're buying a used Sportage, don't forget to check the car for these issues. The repair is quite expensive, it consists of the prices for differential parts (approx. 20,000 rubles) and the cost of the transfer case (600 USD price for a used one) and, of course, the work of removing the gearbox and replacing parts (up to 20,000 rubles).
List of necessary spare parts for the repair of all-wheel drive on Sportage 3, with OE numbers
Gears on a manual transmission do not turn on / it is difficult to turn on, or extraneous noise
This disease begins to manifest itself with a characteristic noise from the gearbox, which is heard when it is cold, when the engine is idling. The Service Bulletin for this issue prescribes the replacement of synchronizer rings for 4th, 5th and 6th gears of the manual transmission.
Sometimes the reason may be in the "synchronism" of the 3rd gear and the corresponding gear. Specifically, the reason is determined after disassembling the box.
If synchronizers are not replaced in time, more serious consequences may occur - fur. damage to the gear teeth, which entails their replacement, and, consequently, a more expensive repair.
The price of work usually costs up to $ 300. Plus the necessary parts.

The car does not drive, a strong rattle in the area of \u200b\u200bthe right wheel, a malfunction of the intermediate shaft
The problem is similar to the one described above with all-wheel drive. The spline connection between the right drive shaft and the inner CV joint is rotten. This happens due to the ingress of water through the stuffing box (or rather the anther). Further, corrosion does its job, the splines weaken and are completely cut off. With completely cut splines, the car will be able to get to the service only when all-wheel drive is on, because as a result of the operation of the differential, all the torque of the front axle will go to the right side.
Corrosion of splines of the promshaft and right drive, Sportage 3
Repair price: promshaft 4,500 rubles, right-hand joint up to 45,000 rubles.
As in the case of the razdatka-box connection, it is necessary to do preventive maintenance with the replacement of the oil seal and the application of lubricant, this will extend the life of the splines.
The engine does not develop more than 3000 rpm, the “CHECK” lamp is on or flashing
Of course, such symptoms are typical for many breakdowns of diesel cars. But here we are talking about the most frequent malfunctions, those that sooner or later happen on all Sportage.
This "disease" is typical for diesel trim levels, with R 2.0 and U2 1.7 engines. There are usually two reasons for these symptoms:
- malfunction of the boost pressure sensor, on a car with a 2-liter engine;
- malfunction of the boost pressure sensor wiring, on machines with a 1.7 engine;
In both cases, the control unit puts the engine into emergency mode, which means, in particular, cutting off the engine speed at around 3000 rpm. The driver has a feeling that the turbine simply does not work. This, of course, is not true.
