For anyone thinking about replacing the trans filter and gasket on a 2008 (or so) Sorento LX 4WD these are the best YouTube videos i could find:
The filters in these videos appear to be identical to the Kia filter i bought for a future change:
Kia Part Numbers:
I did another partial drain and fill (4.75 Qts Kia Red 1) yesterday and noticed that there is a fill tube welded onto the front of the transmission fluid pan. The fill tube is secured in place with a 12 or 14mm nut/bolt and the trans dipstick tube is secured to the top of the fill tube. Access in that area is not the greatest.
