2007 Sedona: Service Manual woes
Am but a year or so in my first time Kia experience, (2007 Sedona) and am also in the newbie category here, so I ask your indulgence and apologize in advance if this has been aired elsewhere in this forum.
...am feeling like I'm from a generation gone by because I have been on a fruitless search for trying to buy the service manual so I can work on my Sedona. (I'm a motor-head, so I do mean more than mere oil change and brake pad maintenance).
Seems times have changed. No such service manual appears to be available from any manual publisher and Kia's site invites me to get one from the Parts Dept at my local dealer, who, well, you probably know how that went.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Apparently, there's an online manual?
I want to change my tranny fluid and am unclear if there's a drain plug or if I must simply drop its pan. Need to do this to stay in warranty compliance. which, by the way, causes me to ask, 'am I crazy or does it seem strange we owners are required to maintain our vehicles for warranty reasons and yet the manuals to guide us in doing so are interestingly not available. Hmmm, sort of forces business to the dealer service dept so I can pay 4x the cost, doesn't it?
