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.

SOURCE: transmission

If it is a 5 speed manual, then you add Transmission oil under the car on the upper side of the transmission. Under the hood on fire wall side there is the speedometer cable. You must remove lock down bolt with # 10 socket and lift straight up. That is where you add/check your Transmission fluid on a 5 speed. Clean the area first and it's fairly simple. 
The tube where the dipstick for the Automatic transmission is where you add the Transmission fluid. You will probably need one of those funnels with the really long neck, so that you can get the fluid into the tube without pouring it all over the place. Be careful that you don't overfill the transmission!
Good luck and hope this helps.

Is there a drain plug on kia rio 2003 automatic transmission to change oil and how many leater is needed to change the oil.
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.

2002kia rio automatic transmission slow taking reverse
If the transmission is full and not low on fluid I suspect you may need to have the fluid changed in it, this should be done every 60,000 miles minimum. If that fails to improve the problem then you are looking at a ****** rebuild.

My 2008 kia optima gear 2 incorrect ratio
You likely have a Check Engine light throwing a P0732 fault. This can be attributed by 1 or more of the following:

-Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid
- Shift solenoids
- Transmission mechanical problems
- Transmission hydraulic control circuit

Start with the transmission fluid. If it's full, check for signs of wear. It should be purple. If it's brown and/or is giving off a burning smell, it needs to be changed. If the fluid is full and in good condition, the problem is with the transmission itself. It could be an adjustment, a bad module, or a sign that the transmission is on it's way out. Best of luck with your problem and thank you for using Fixya.

On the very button of the transmission, will be a plug, might even read drain on it, on the side will be another plug, might even read fill on it, both unscrew.
