All recent Kia/Hyandai vehicles use an SP II or SP III Diamond designation tranny fluid. This is a full synthetic. It is the same tranny fluid used in Mitsibishi also. So far, Aamco will use it if the car calls for it, but the only other place to find it is the dealer!!!! There are very few Multi Vehicle fluids out there that will cross match with the SP III fluid. I know Amsoil will cross over and Valvoline says theirs will also. I questioned them, and they said if there was ever a problem related to their multi vehicle tranny fluid, they would take care of it. These are all I know of. I own a Kia and just spent about 2 months researching all this info as I needed to do the 30,000 mile maintenance, which involves a tranny fluid change.

Pull the transmission dip stick out , and make sure oil is showing on it .

If the fluid is showing on the right mark on the dip stick you are good .

Standard tranny's don't have dipsticks. Theres a plug on the side of the tranny to check/fill the tranny fluid. The fluid should come up to the bottom of that plug hole when sitting on a level surface.

on 3.1 there is no dipstick. the only time you have to check fluid in tranny is,if you have a leak or you think it is giving you problems. first raise up car level then take plug out of in back of tranny pan to check fluid. if it runs out it is to full, fluid should be at bottom of hole.to add fluid, on the top of tranny there is a red cap unscrew this cap and use a long neck funnel to add fluid..only until it is at bottom of plug hole,by tranny.
