It shouldn't, but be VERY CAREFUL when you drive afterwards. Transmission fluid sometimes creates a varnish like coating over the entire transmission. As the new fluid has a high level of cleaning properties this sludge can stop your new filter up. Only drive it for a short distance and see if it acts like it's not getting oil. Make sure it shifts properly and pulls normally. Any sign of abnormal operation is a sign it is stopping up. If this occurs stop the car immediately and change the filter again. I have seen the filter have to be changed three times. If were mine, with the burnt fluid look I would buy two filters and run it about five or ten times and let it set, then just put a new filter on it for the heck of it. I know changing the filter is a lot of trouble but so is changing a transmissionFrom experience,Gillight

SOURCE: Transmission fluid capacity for 2000 Kia Sephia?

The four speed automatic shows a total fill (that is all the fluid it can hold) is 5.7 Quarts. So if you just dropped the pan and relplaced the filter, you shouldnt need more than 4 quarts and likely you would have a little extra with that.

Your problem is the TPS sensor, check with your dealer, the replacement is very cheap.

Please show me the dipstick of transmission on a 2015 kia sorento. ...thanks

The Kia sorento, 2014 , 15 , 16, has no transmission stick. The unit is self contained, no way to check it. Probably should have it flushed every 50,000 miles. It takes a special machine to change the trans., fluid, Kia dealer wants over $350 to change,,, way to high

I've got a 2003 Kia Sorento It felt like the trans was slipping - took it to the mechanic and they replaced the rear U-joints and the carrying bearing (said it wasn't the trans); it helped but it still is...

Please first off - take down the vin number - call the dealer - ask about RECALLS.

Once done - take the car to the dealer - tell them you called about recalls and ask them to just show you how to check your auto trans level. Nothing more. If this continues to slip try adding Royal Purple Transmission fluid - IF your fluid has been changed as scheduled and is current. If not - change the fluid and filter - then add [ as the last quart ] Royal Purple to the Transmission after the change. Only to top off - not to overfill so leave one quart shy of full then add the Royal Purple.
Best of it. 178e9d2.gif

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.
