The 2010 Kia Forte was equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission as standard. To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to use ATF-TYPE HK SP-III fluid. This transmission has a fluid capacity of 6.9 US quarts. It is advised to change the transmission fluid every 40,000 to 60,000 miles to prevent slipping. If you choose to do the job yourself, expect to spend between $30 and $50 on fluid costs. Taking it to a mechanic will cost between $140 and $200, including parts and labor.
