Proposed transmission fluid change 2016 Genesis 3.8 AWD Sedan

[Milano]

So it's an old thread..... sorry for necro... but I'm at 55k and the previous owner was in NJ so I assume a lot of stop and go....

Do you guys think Valvoline could handle the flush? I know the rap some of those quickie joints get, but I personally know these guys and trust their work... I am just not sure if they have a fluid in stock that would meet the spec?

Well I didn't go to Valvoline. I ended up going to the dealer for it and the transmission flush at 58,000 Miles cost me $300. At that price I'm happy. I used to work at that dealership and I have nothing but faith in the mechanic they assigned the car to. They actually didn't carry the fluid in stock they had to order it.

Glad it worked out. Do you notice a difference?

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If you review a lot of forum write ups, it shows that the fluid can become quite contaminated with suspended particles in as little as 30,000 miles. I plan on keeping the car a long time and this is a simple, cheap way to help it.

Hi there
What's the type of transmission fluid for a 2020 Genesis G80 3.8 which as you know has an 8 speed automatic?

In terms of TSB steps: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10161685-9999.pdf

Seems like even in severe conditions, no need to change the pan/filter?

Also - it says put the gear to Neutral when replacing.
