How much transmission fluid should go in a a 98 hyundai elantra?
That depends, Open the hood, you will see a yellow dip-stick and a Red dip-stick. The Red dip-stick will be on the passenger side toward the dash of your car. Pull it all the way out and wipe it off. You will see two little holes in it one says full and the lower one says ''Add. Now start the motor, and stick the cleaned stick back in the pipe all the way downnow pull it out and see where the oil level is. If there is no oil on the stickadd a quart and check it again just as you did the first time. Add Transmission Oil (red) till the oil shows up to the full line or little hole that is there Its a piece of cakeTakes only 2 or 3 minutes to do and all you need is a clean rag. The stick will tell you how much oil to add or if its full. The red stick is the transmission.The Yellow is the motor oil dip stick. while your there Check Bothof them. And now you can drive without feareverything will be OK (Houston)
First of all is it an automatic? If it is ONLY USE SP-3 FOR YOUR ELANTRA AND YES THE DEALER IS THE BEST PLACE TO GET IT FROM. It's more expensive but other types of fluid can ruin the torque converter. Sure there may be a handful of other fluids you can use but it's not worth taking a chance on when you know something has already been shown to work. I don't remember the exact amount of fluid the tranny takes but if you're doing the drain and fill yourself you'll only be able to drain about 1/3 of the fluid (I think). A transmission flush machine, found in mosts good shops and the dealer, will be to take out all the old fluid.
