Hey, i have been using 5W-30 for the longest time and its been fine, it should say in owners manual but dont have it. The capacity should be around 4 quarts give or take half a quart, just make sure u add in as needed and dont overfill it. If you buy one of those yellow gallon or so jugs of 50/50 coolant, i used about half of that in mine. Hope that helps, have no idea for transmission. I would just leave the transmission fluid in since im guessing u have a lot of miles on the car.

I need to know what the spark plug wire firing order is on a 2001 KIA Optima V6 2.5L

Most gasoline six cylinder engines fire in sequential order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. And most cylinders are numbered the same. Looking at the engine from the front of the vehicle. The left cylinders are old starting at 1 closest to you and in sequential order. The right cylinders are even starting at 2 closest to you and in sequential order.

This is not what you want to hear, but its time to replace or rebuild the transmission. The clutch packs are worn causing your slipping concern. and your fluid is probably contaminated with the clutch material which can cause hydraulic circuit failure.

2001 Kia Optima Alternator 4 Cyclinder change from top or bottom

Bottom! I'm sure some hot shot mechanics with very specialized tools could do it from the top, but the rest of us will need to access it from the bottom. Good luck, and use good jack stands!
