Some owners experience delayed shifting o r jerky transmission behavior. What is the exact fluid change interval and ATF type specified for the Elantra’s automatic transmission, and is the schedule suitable for Pakistani driving environments?

Hyundai officially recommends changing the automatic transmission fluid ATF every 90,000 to 100,000 kilometers under normal conditions. However, in Pakistan—where stop-and-go traffic, heat, and dust stress the transmission—its wise to change ATF every 50,000 to 60,000 km. The correct fluid type for most 6-speed Elantra models is Hyundai SP-IV ATF check your variant to be sure. Delaying ATF changes can lead to jerky gear shifts, slipping, and long-term transmission wear.
