Timely maintenance is essential for the durability of any automatic transmission. This is especially true for modern, more advanced boxes.
KIA Sportage 3 - pure Korean
Changing the oil in the automatic transmission of a KIA Sportage 3 car is not the most difficult procedure. With a careful approach, it is possible to change the working fluid on this car even in the absence of specific knowledge on the structure and principle of operation of the automatic transmission lubrication system. It is enough just to strictly follow the instructions and be careful when performing work.
In the article, we will consider two options for replacing the lubricating fluid in the KIA Sportage 3 machine: full and partial.
What oil and when to change
The scheduled time for changing the oil in the automatic box of the KIA Sportage 3 car is 90 thousand km. Some sources claim that the lubricant in the automatic transmission of this car can not be changed at all if the operating conditions are normal. However, this is dubious information.
Even under normal conditions, when abnormal loads are excluded, the ATF liquid after a run of 90 thousand km turns black. A large amount of wear products accumulates in its volume, which the magnet is not able to accumulate on itself in the required volume, and these abrasive particles circulate freely through the system. The additives also decompose and the base degrades.
Therefore, it is better to make a replacement no later than indicated in the regulations. If the car is operated in difficult conditions, then the mileage between successive replacements is reduced to 60 thousand km.
The following operational factors can be classified as heavy:
- mountainous or rugged terrain;
- bad roads with many bumps;
- sandy or snowy terrain where the wheels have to slip periodically;
- frequent short-distance travel;
- the ambient temperature is above 32 ° C for more than half of the entire operating time of the car;
- systematic use of the car as a traction unit for transporting trailers;
- the use of a car as a police, rescue, medical or other service crew.
It is necessary to control the level of the lubricating fluid at least once every 30 thousand km. early recommended in the following cases:
- the machine starts to malfunction (speeds are switched with a delay, tangible jolts appear), and no traces of mechanical faults were found;
- there was a leak or a forced drain for maintenance or repair with a mileage close to the scheduled one;
- the car stood motionless for a long time (more than 3 years).
When choosing a lubricant, the manufacturer's recommendations should be followed. The automatic transmission KIA Sportage 3 is filled with SP-IV class transmission fluid. It is recommended to pour original oil from KIA.
However, many drivers use analogues of the same class from other manufacturers. At the same time, no negative consequences are observed. As practice has shown, it is quite enough to update the ATF fluid in the box no later than the scheduled time for its long and trouble-free operation.
Replacement tools
To change the oil in the KIA Sportage 3 automatic transmission, you will need a relatively small list of tools. It all depends on whether a complete or partial replacement will be performed.
Let's first consider the minimum set for a partial renewal of the lubricant:
- socket or open-end wrench for 24 (for the drain bolt);
- a wrench for 22 or a square with an edge of 8 (for the breather bolt);
- key 8 (for bolts of metal underbody protection);
- empty container with a capacity of at least 5 liters for mining;
- funnel for filling;
- a copper ring for a drain plug;
- clean rags;
- 5 liters of oil.
If a complete replacement is planned, then the following will additionally be required:
- pliers and a screwdriver (for dismantling the air filter and air ducts, as well as removing clamps from the automatic transmission oil supply and return hoses to the cooling radiator);
- plastic bottle with a volume of 1.5–2 liters;
- an additional 3 liters of oil;
- an assistant who will start and stop the engine to drain the mining.
- It is also possible to additionally replace the rubber ring under the inspection plug.
Types of oil changes
As is the case with most modern automatic transmissions, changing the oil in the KIA Sportage 3 automatic transmission provides two options:
- partial replacement;
- complete replacement.
In the case of a partial renewal of the automatic transmission lubricant, the old oil is not completely removed from the system. The volume of the drained treatment is about 5 liters. This is just over half.
If a complete replacement is made, then it provides for the renewal of the entire volume of lubricant with the complete removal of the used oil and filling in a new one. In any case, at the end of the work, the oil level is checked through the control hole.
Before starting work, the car is placed on an inspection pit or raised on a lift. The bottom protection is dismantled (plastic with clips and metal with screws). The automatic transmission warms up to operating temperature (55–65 ° C). After that, the tool and the empty container are prepared.
Partial replacement
With a partial oil change in an automatic transmission, the following steps are performed with your own hands:
In this case, it is not necessary to drain the oil through the drain hole, even with a strong overflow. It is enough to wait until the liquid comes out through the control hole until a thin stream or drops are formed.
note
A partial change will allow the oil to be renewed by about 60–65%. If there were no complaints about the operation of the automatic transmission, the oil is relatively clean and does not smell of burning, this option is quite suitable.
Complete oil change
In case of a complete replacement, it is necessary to perform all the actions as for a partial one up to the point with start-up and warm-up. After filling about 5 liters of liquid, the following is done:
Old used and new oil, automatic transmission Sportage 3
After that, the return hose is put on in its place and the air filter housing is installed. This completes the complete oil change in the KIA automatic transmission.

The second generation Kia Sportage was one of the most popular crossovers in its segment. The appearance of the third generation caused a lot of dissatisfaction with the design, but over time, the negative perception changed towards the positive. Note that most of the Korean crossover is similar to the German premium SUV Porsche Cayenne, especially after the latter has been updated, which even has rear optics, now, like the Sportage.
Like all Kia models, the crossover has its own analogue from Hyundai, for the Sportage such an analogue is with which they have completely similar technical characteristics, including the line of engines and transmissions. Potential owners are offered a choice of two gasoline engines and one diesel. The petrol line of engines consists of a 2.0-liter aspirated engine with a capacity of 150 hp. and a 1.6 lira turbo engine producing 177 hp. a 2.0-liter diesel engine is capable of producing 185 hp.
The transmissions include a 6-speed manual and automatic gearbox, as well as a new DCT robot with seven gears and two dry clutches.

Relatively recently, almost all models of the Kia brand have acquired a sports package, which adds a sporty interior and exterior design to the car, and in some cases a new robot and a turbo vehicle are available.
- 1.6 liter petrol turbo engine with 177 hp. four-wheel drive price from 2,084,900 rubles
- 2.0 liter diesel engine with 185 hp. four-wheel drive price from 2,094,900 rubles.
Of all the above versions, we would prefer a diesel engine, all-wheel drive and a classic automatic, because in our opinion, this is the optimal ratio of price / fuel consumption / dynamics and reliability.
Competitors in this segment for Sportage 2018 can be considered Volkswagen Tiguan price from 1,349,000 rubles, Ford Kuga price from 1,399,000 rubles, Honda CR-V price from 1,769,900 rubles, Hyundai Tucson from 1,505,900 rubles, Mazda CX- 5 price from 1,431,000 rubles and Toyota RAV4 from 1,493,000 rubles.
In this article, I will briefly outline what most often breaks down on a Kia Sportage 3, model 2010-2016, with the factory designation Sl or Sle. I work at a service station and have practical experience in this matter. Here will be described not only typical "diseases" of the sportage, but also methods of their treatment. The article is intended to save the owner of such a car from many hours of searching for information on sections of automotive forums. It will also be useful for those who are just going to buy a used sportswear, because it is important to understand what to check when buying. If I suddenly missed something, write in the comments.
Four-wheel drive does not work!
A very common malfunction in the 3rd generation Sportage is a breakdown of the all-wheel drive system. It occurs even when the car is operated exclusively as an urban SUV, without using the all-wheel drive blocking function. After all, even if you do not press the 4WD lock button, the control unit automatically engages the rear axle at moments of sharp acceleration when starting off, or when the front wheels slip. The torque is constantly redistributed by the ITM unit between the front and rear wheels in a proportion from 100% - 0% to 50% - 50%, respectively.
There are two faults with all-wheel drive on the Sportage:
- breakage of the all-wheel drive coupling (PP);
- corrosion of the splined connection between the gearbox (gearbox) and the transfer case;
Moreover, the second malfunction occurs much more often than the first.
Malfunction of the PP clutch
All-wheel drive clutch, Sportage; 1 - clutch pack, 2 - pump
It manifests itself as follows: there is no connection of the rear wheels, even in 4WD lock mode (i.e. when the button is pressed), while the 4WD system malfunction lamp on the instrument panel is on. It is important that the cardan shaft rotates during this!
In general terms, the clutch is a conventional system with a multi-plate clutch that is compressed under oil pressure. The pressure is generated by a pump attached to the coupling housing.
Error codes "P1832 Clutch Thermal Overstress Shutdown" or "P1831 Clutch Thermal Overstress Warning" appear. Here is a detailed description of what exactly breaks down in this case and how you can repair it.
This happens especially often when the clutch overheats, with prolonged slip. Or with frequent use of 4WD lock mode. But this mode is intended only for short-term use on an area with difficult road conditions. Do not drive for a long time with the 4WD lock button pressed.
The problem is solved by replacing the PP clutch assembly. The part is not cheap, but there are firms that provide coupling repair services. These services are easy to find on the internet.
Another possible breakdown is a malfunction of the clutch pump itself. In this case, error code P1822 or P1820 occurs. On this issue, KIA even issued a service bulletin, according to which of. the dealer must replace the clutch assembly.
If the car is not under warranty, you need to replace the pump separately, which will be much cheaper. Only the new pump has already been modified and requires the purchase of a wiring.
Part Numbers: 4WD Clutch Pump - 478103B520,pump wiring 478913B310
The price for a pump with wiring is approximately 22,000 rubles.
If you are buying a used Sportage, be sure to check the car for these problems. The repair is quite expensive, it consists of the prices for the differential parts (approx. 20,000 rubles) and the cost of the transfer case (600 USD, the price for a used one) and, of course, work on removing the gearbox and replacing parts (up to 20,000 rubles).

Do not turn on / hard to turn on the gear on a manual transmission, or extraneous noise
This disease begins to manifest itself with a characteristic noise from the gearbox, which is audible on a cold, when the engine is idling. The service bulletin for this problem prescribes the replacement of the synchronizer rings for the 4th, 5th and 6th gears of the manual transmission.
Sometimes the reason may be in the "synchronization" of the 3rd gear and the corresponding gear. The reason is specifically determined after disassembling the box.
If the synchronizers are not replaced in time, more serious consequences may occur - the fur. damage to the teeth of gear wheels, which entails their replacement, and, consequently, more expensive repairs.
The price of work usually costs up to $ 300. Plus the necessary spare parts.

The car does not drive, a strong grinding in the area of \u200b\u200bthe right wheel, a malfunction of the intermediate shaft
The problem is similar to the one described above with four-wheel drive. Rotting out the splined connection between the right-hand drive shaft and the inner CV joint. This happens due to the ingress of water through the oil seal (or rather the boot). Further, the corrosion does its job, the slots weaken and completely cut off. When the slots of the flush are cut off completely, the car will be able to reach the service only when the all-wheel drive is on, because as a result of the differential operation, all the torque of the front axle will go to the right side.
Corrosion of the splines of the flush shaft and drive, right, Sportage 3
Repair price: ramval 4 500 rubles., CV joint right up to 45 000 rubles.
As in the case with the connection of the transfer case - the box, it is necessary to prevent the flushing with the replacement of the oil seal and the application of lubricant, this will prolong the life of the splines.
The engine does not develop more than 3000 rpm, the "CHECK" lamp is on or flashing
Of course, such symptoms are typical for many diesel car breakdowns. But here we are talking about the most frequent malfunctions, those that sooner or later happen on all Sportage.
This "disease" is typical for diesel configurations with R 2.0 and U2 1.7 engines. There are usually two reasons for these symptoms:
- malfunction of the boost pressure sensor, on a car with a 2-liter engine;
- malfunction of the boost pressure sensor wiring, on cars with a 1.7 engine;
In both cases, the control unit switches the operation of the motor to emergency mode, which means, in particular, the cut-off of engine speed at around 3000 rpm. The driver has the feeling that the turbine is simply not working. This is certainly not the case.
The KIA Sportage manual transmission is a reliable unit. The developers created it to work in gentle conditions:
- with careful driving;
- on flat roads;
- when working in high-speed modes designed for the selected gear;
- under conditions of regular oil change and preventive diagnostics.
With this use, the manual transmission serves for a long time and regularly, it works throughout the life of the car.

- Careless driving with a sharp shift of the lever and driving at the wrong speed,
- Untimely oil change and irregular diagnostics,
lead to the fact that the device or its individual parts are erased, break down and fail.

Kia Sportage 3 is one of the most popular crossovers in Russia. The machine is famous for its reliability and unpretentious maintenance. But in order for the units to serve for a long time (meaning the engine and gearbox), it is necessary to periodically carry out preventive maintenance, namely, an oil change. Any car owner knows about the engine - this operation must be performed every 10 thousand kilometers. But not everyone knows about the checkpoint, especially the automatic one. But she, too, needs what kind of casting and how to change it in general? We will talk about this in our today's article.
The ways
Today there are two methods for changing oil in an automatic transmission:
· Partial. In this case, the operation involves only fluid renewal. This option is the easiest for owners of a used car (especially those whose car is no longer under warranty). The operation is performed independently, without the help of specialized tools. But, unfortunately, there are also disadvantages of a partial double replacement of ATF oil in an automatic transmission. Replacement does not guarantee that the fluid will be 100 percent new. The new ATP fluid will only partially mix with the old one. Therefore, such an operation is performed twice in one replacement schedule.
· Complete. How is the oil change carried out in the automatic transmission "Kia Sportage" 3? This method involves the use of a special washer. It is connected to the box through special hoses and pumps liquid under pressure. The old oil comes out. At the same time, new fluid is pumped into the system. Among the advantages of this method, it is worth noting a better quality automatic transmission service. An oil change in an automatic transmission will not be required as often as in the case of a partial method. After all, the system is filled with 100 percent new fluid. But this is where all the pros end. The main disadvantage of the method is that it cannot be repeated at home. Also, for a complete oil change in the automatic transmission for the "Kia Sportage" 3, much more ATP fluid is required. And it is not cheap. Well, plus everything you need to pay for the work of the craftsmen at the service station.
Which method should you choose? If the oil change in the automatic transmission is carried out on a Kia Sportage 3 car with your own hands, the partial method is the only suitable option.
What to pour and how much?
What oil to use for the third generation Kia Sportage automatic transmission? Experts recommend using the original Hyundai SP-4 or Castrol Transmax E oil. As analogs, you can consider "Shell Spyrax S4" and "Zeke ATP S4". Products from Ellison receive good reviews. Allison C4 oil is suitable for Kia Sportage. Another good oil is Dexron 3. As for the volume, for a partial oil change in the Kia Sportage 3 automatic transmission, up to six liters of ATF fluid will be required. If a hardware (full) replacement is performed, it is necessary to prepare about twelve liters. But we will not consider this method.
Helpful advice: car owners recommend changing the oil in the Kia Sportage 3 automatic transmission on the eve of winter. During this period of time, it will be better if the box runs on fresh oil. This will slightly extend the resource of automatic transmission mechanisms and units.
Tools
For a successful replacement, we need:
· Standard set of keys and heads (in particular, "10" and "14").
· Pliers (or we will loosen the hose clamps).
· Empty container for used oil. Its volume must be at least five liters.
· Plastic funnel and hose.
· Liquid for cleaning the carburetor (it needs to process the pallet of the box).
We also need a new gasket for the pallet and filter. Work on changing the fluid must be done in the pit. In the absence of one, you can use a jack, but this will be inconvenient.
Getting started
So, first we install the car on a pit or overpass and warm up the box. It is enough to let the machine run for 5-7 minutes at idle. This will be especially useful for liquids in cold weather. The heated oil will be less viscous and will drain out of the box faster. And to even arrange the process, you can remove the dipstick from the box in order to ensure the flow of air inside.
Next, we find the plastic plug that is located at the bottom of the automatic transmission case. We unscrew it and immediately substitute an empty container for draining. After a couple of minutes, the liquid will stop flowing out of the box. But it is worth remembering that half of the volume still remains in the torque converter and valve body.
Please note: the automatic transmission drain plug on the Kia Sportage is not in the most convenient place. Therefore, many motorists drain the liquid through the radiator hose, having previously loosened its clamp with pliers.
Next, we remove the pallet itself. It is fastened with 21 screws. It is necessary to remove the pan very carefully, since some of the liquid (about two hundred milliliters) may remain in it. The oil filter will remain at the top. You need to extract it and install a new one (we will talk about it at the end of the article). Also, do not forget about the filter on the pallet. These are small magnets that hold the products of production. Before installing the pallet, be sure to clean it of these shavings. Flushing the cavity of the pallet will not be a superfluous operation. How to do it? You need to splash carburetor cleaner and wipe everything dry with a rag. Ordinary gasoline copes well with this. This will remove most of the emulsion and dirt that was at the bottom of the automatic transmission. After that, you can safely install the pallet in place. But you need to put it on a new gasket. The old one is no longer suitable for reuse.
After that, we twist the drain plug and, using a funnel and a hose, fill in new liquid through the dipstick. You only need to pour exactly how much has flowed out of the box during replacement. Ideally, the oil level should be in the middle.
What's next?
Now the matter remains small. You need to start the engine and run the oil in the box. To do this faster, you can switch the automatic transmission modes several times with a delay of five seconds. Then we turn off the engine and once again check the liquid level on the dipstick. If it becomes less, we resume the level to the normal level.
About filter
Many people believe that for a long and trouble-free operation of an automatic transmission, it is enough to change only the oil in it. But this is a delusion. Both the ATP liquid and the filter change. A two-layer felt element is installed on such boxes. It cannot be cleaned and is replaced entirely with a new one. Why is this so important? The fact is that a clogged filter can cause a drop in oil pressure in the box.
Because of this, various kicks and jerks occur, as well as delays in gear changes. Don't forget about the sediment at the bottom of the pallet. Over time, it begins to clog the valve body channels and solenoids. Because of this, kicks are also possible when shifting gears.
How often to change?
The manufacturer regulates the next oil change period in the automatic transmission - 60 thousand kilometers. But this is applicable only when carrying out a complete fluid replacement at the stand. If a partial method is used, this period should be halved. Thus, the repeated replacement (or rather renewal) of the oil will be in 30 thousand kilometers.
Conclusion
So, we figured out how to change the oil in the automatic transmission "Kia Sportage". By adhering to the specified schedule and replacing filters, you can significantly extend the service life of an automatic transmission without any additives. But don't skimp on consumables. A cheap filter and oil will not guarantee a long transmission life, even if the work is done on time.
