anything but red-1 in that transmission will void your powertrain warranty and will burn up your transmission. 2003-2004's use dexron III and 2005's use red-1, and 2006 and up use SPIII.

Sadley you and Pstn have been hanging out too long. As was suggested in the other thread READ TECH TIMES KT2007052207. It does not say what you think or say it does. You are totally WRONG, as it tells everyone jsut what I said in my post. Since we are in the Sorento Forum I can see where you might get confused reading it. And forget their are other vechs on the road other then a Sorento. But fact remains.

FWD chassis auto trans as WELL AS the 5spd auto's use SpcIII form 1996 on (Sedona/Veracruz/Azera/Optima/Sonata) for those reading impaired. As well as other Hyundai corp vechs with the FWD 5spd auto trans.

RWD chassis 4spd auto trans use DEXIII. The SORENTO! with 3.5L 2002-2005 mid year
RWD chassis 5spd auto trans use RED-1. The SORENTO! with 3.8L and 3.3L 2005 mid year-on to date

And I bet the NEW Genisis RWD chassis 3.3 V6 5spd. As well as the new RWD chassis Borrago 3.8 V6 5spd. Will use RED-1 too. The 3.8 V6 Aisin 6spd in the Genesis might as well. Thou that is up in the air with no data yet released to public. As is the data for the newer still 4.6V8 6spd sourced form ZF. Which is almost for sure not going to use SPIII nor RED1. ZF tends to go with DexIII. But nothing is in stone till it all hits the pavement.

Put SpcIII in a 2005-on 5spd auto Sorento and BUY A TRANS!. Plain and simple. Its not brain surgury. READ THE CHART.

When are you going to learn that your posts are so convoluted that you hide the important information amongst your bullsh.t. Didn't you say something similar yourself once?

Yes, read the end of my line three and into line four again. That will give you what you missed I think from the post you sighted. It has been said many times too elsewhere. And in other threads and has been beaten to death. But peeps seem to not be able to read and just ask the same questons over and over. In any other forum the low level of product knowledge on what you drive would be sad. But here it seems to have been taken to a new art form. And it is scary at times anyone askes for advise or help when attempting to work on thier vechs themsleves. Given the level of mech ablity at times we have here. I do not in the least have a problem helping nor answering things. And thou i do not agree with pstn all the time he does help in his own way here too at times. It is jsut that at times it seems very odd that those that have very limited skills are even thinking of working on thier Sorento's.

And then we have Kiaracer and his Sephias. A senior member that SHOULD know better I would hope. But as we saw........

KISS KISS back at ya gee6 lolol
