2011 Hyundai Sonata Questions & Answers

  • How much can my Hyundai tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is.

Regularly checking and exchanging your 2011 Sonata’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Hyundai, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Hyundai Sonata? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Hyundai Sonata, potentially causing transmission problems.
