Replacing Automatic Gearbox Oil

Model: Hyundai Elantra J2, MK 2 - Years 1995-2000
Part: Transmission fluid

Replacing the oil in the gearbox, especially in the case of an automatic transmission, will greatly benefit the operation of the transmission itself, and the shifts will certainly become smoother; essentially, it involves draining the used oil through the designated drain plug located at the bottom of the gearbox and then inserting the new fluid through the tube where the oil level dipstick is housed, located near the engine air filter box; once the new fluid is inserted, start the engine and engage all gears to circulate it through all actuators.
