What kind of trans fluid does a Hyundai Sonata use?
I used to own a ’67 Type 3 with the 3 speed auto trans. It was a conventional design using a torque converter and a vacuum actuator. And used Dextron trans fluid. Marketed as the Volkswagen Automatic Stickshift, the three speed manual transmission was connected to a vacuum-operated automatic clutch.
How does the clutch work on a Hyundai Sonata?
When pressed, the switch operated a 12 volt solenoid in turn operating the vacuum clutch, thus disengaging the clutch and allowing shifting between gears. With the driver’s hand removed from the gearshift, the clutch would re-engage automatically.

Is the Hyundai Sonata a 4 speed car?
Nope the 02 Sonata was just a conventional 4 speed auto, made by ZF Europe I believe. Loved the slap shift feature on it as I could lock any of the 4 speeds & it would hold regardless of what I was doing with the throttle. The wife used it in full auto mode.
How much fluid to change in Hyundai Sonata?
It’s still a simple drain & fill with 5 quarts. If you google changing transmission fluid on 2012 Hyundai Sonata click on the 39 second youtube video to see the fill plug. Looks like it’s big enough to fit a transmission funnel. Changing trans fluid on this is so simple the OP might want to do it himself.
When to change your transmission fluid in Hyundai?
Transmission fluid change intervals can vary widely, but we recommend somewhere between 30,000-60,000 miles, or every two to four years. If you drive a vehicle with a manual transmission, use your Hyundai SUV to tow, or commute through heavy stop-and-go traffic, then you will need to change your oil on the lower side of that scale.
