The 2005 Hyundai Tucson uses high-quality synthetic transmission fluid that meets or exceeds SP3 specifications. This type of fluid, such as Mercon V or Dexron VI, is crucial for protecting your gears. It is important to regularly monitor your transmission fluid levels to prevent your gears from grinding against each other, which can lead to damage. I recommend checking your transmission fluid every time you change your oil to ensure it is at the right level and clean from any debris. If you notice any sparkly or reflective appearance in the fluid, it could indicate the presence of tiny metal particles.
A Hyundai Tucson from 2005 requires dexron-vi type of automatic transmission fluid.
