Automatic Transmission Fluid

Posted by Vegatron on TeamHyundaiMalaysia:

Topic: Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)

This topic was discussed extensively over in AW. It's confirmed that our cars must run on SPIII or compatible ATF. It seems some SCs are using DexronIII fluid when they service elantra.

All elantra owners please check back what ATF did your SC use the last time u changed your ATF. If it is DexronIII please quickly change it to SPIII otherwise your gearbox will be damaged in the long run.

ATF suitable for elantra:
Mitsubishi Diamond SPIII
SK SPIII
Hyundai SPIII
Castrol TQM-ST
Proton SPIII

Later on, mtuc posted on this issue:

At the KB SC Jln Ipoh..I saw them using Caltex ATF with SPIII. Also confirm X20 not require to replace the ATF filter.Just flush or change ATF fluid, that all.

Before this, the workshop used Hyundai Xteer SPIII for my Elantra X20 2008. This week, a spare part shop suggested to you Hyundai Xteer SP4. Can you advise which one is better? And should I flush it first?
