At 60K or so have a trans fluid exchange done with the OEM (SPIII) fluid. This will keep it in the best condition possible. No additives/cleaners needed as the fluid contains plenty.
I have a 2001 van Hyuandi,My dad took it in for a clunking noise ,but walked out of there 450 .00$ lighter ,since he supposely drives the vehicle under a severe service the coolant and transmission needed a flush.So he got tooken in by the stealership.
for some odd reason they used a cleaner in the transmission,I cannot figure this one out.
side note ,we change the coolant every 2 yrs and trans fluid every year (give and take a few months)I was thinking I would have to do this near the 100,000 kms mark not 50,000.
hummm.
there is no filter on these models ,if you wanted to get to the screen ,you will have to take the trans out (the pan is actually vertical ) there is a drain plug on the botton ,you should be able to get most of the fluid out (not the converter) ,but its all better than nothing,I would stick with the OEM fluids ,
