How to change transmission fluid and filter in my 2003 kia sadona

Can't say that i have done that particular model, but they are usually located inside of the trans mission. You have to drop the pan.

I do not understand the question, do you mean the transmission pan drain plug? If so there isn't one you must remove the pan to drain the transmission, they do this so you change the filter as well as the fluid.

Most cars, you have to drop the entire transmission pan to drain out the fluid. You have to buy a new pan gasket and filter too. Use Dexron VI transmission fluid. Total 5.9 liters. This is probably for the total system capacity. When you drop the pan, only about half of the transmission fluid drains out of the system. Only a professional shop can push out all of the transmission fluid.

This info should be in your owners manual.
The 4 speed trans shows a total fill of 8 quarts and the 5 speed shows a total fill of 10 quarts. Just changing the filter should be half that amount for each transmission.
There are trans fluids for multi-brands of import cars, Dextron may also work.
Again, check your owners manual or look on the dipstick.

ply it out with plyrs and no its not true

the fluid is drained by removing the transmission pan located under the car. make sure you buy a transmission filter kit so you can change the filter and gasket. the trans fluid is added to the dipstick tube, where you have located the dipstick.

To fill the transmission fluid, you need a funnel that fits into the dipstick tube, add fluid there. If the fluid is black and smells burnt, that's bad. I would have the fluid changed. These transmissions don't have a filter, probally a bad idea.
