For the 2005 Hyundai Accent, it's best to use Premium Type SPIII Automatic Transmission Fluid. The total capacity is 6.4 US quarts, but only about 3.5 US quarts are removed by just draining the pan. It's advised to change the transmission fluid every 80,000 miles to avoid running your transmission on metal shavings and contaminants, which can reduce its lifespan. Regularly monitoring the fluid level is crucial to prevent transmission issues. To check the fluid, warm up the engine, keep it running in park, and pull out the transmission dipstick.

    The 2005 Hyundai Accent's automatic transmission needs ATF SP III, Diamond ATF SP III, or a similar fluid that meets Hyundai's SP III standards. For manual transmission in the same car, MTF 75W/85 fluid is necessary.
