★ Top Answer
The 2005 Kia Sorento requires Dexron VI ATF Automatic Transmission Fluid with a capacity of 2 US quarts. Transmission fluid serves as a lubricant, preventing heat-related damage to the transmission components. The cost of a fluid change for your Sorento typically ranges between $50 and $60 for labor, plus $130 for parts. It's recommended to change your transmission fluid every 30,000 miles. Signs that indicate the need for a fluid change include grinding noises from the transmission, gear slippage, difficulty shifting gears, sudden surges, and delayed movement after shifting into gear.
