The 2000 Hyundai Elantra requires full synthetic Dexron VI transmission fluid. For the F5M22-2 (5-speed), the capacity is 4.6 pints, while for the 4-speed F4A32 Automatic, the initial fill is 4.2 quarts and the total fill is 7 quarts. Transmission fluid serves as both lubricant and hydraulic fluid, aiding in gear shifts, cooling the transmission, and lubricating moving parts. It is recommended to change the transmission fluid every approximately 90,000 miles. Signs that indicate the need for a fluid change include hearing unusual noises, detecting a burning smell, experiencing leaks, or noticing slipping gears. The cost of a fluid change typically ranges from $100 to $120 for labor expenses.
The oil recommended for use in the 2000 Hyundai Elantra is 5W-30.
