Purpose and Specifications

RAVENOL ATF SP-IV is a synthetic automatic transmission fluid engineered for Hyundai and Kia vehicles with 6-speed automatic transmissions (models A6LF1/2/3, A6GF1, A6MF1/2 from 2009 onwards). This professional-grade fluid keeps your transmission running smoothly by reducing friction, preventing wear on internal components, and maintaining consistent performance across all driving conditions.

The fluid is formulated with advanced synthetic base oils that provide superior protection compared to standard transmission fluids. It resists breakdown under high heat and stress, prevents sludge buildup inside the transmission, and protects metal parts from corrosion. The special additive package ensures your transmission shifts smoothly without grinding or hesitation, even in cold winter weather down to -54°C.

• Operating Temperature Range: Performs reliably from -54°C (winter cold starts) to high-temperature highway driving
• Density: 838 kg/m³ at 20°C—flows easily at startup while maintaining protective film at operating temperatures
• Key Benefits: Smooth gear shifts, reduced transmission noise, extended transmission life, better fuel efficiency

When to Use / Replace?

Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended service intervals. Most Hyundai and Kia owners should check transmission fluid every 40,000 km (25,000 miles) and plan for complete fluid replacement every 80,000–120,000 km (50,000–75,000 miles), depending on driving conditions. If you frequently tow, drive in stop-and-go traffic, or operate in extreme heat, consider more frequent checks and earlier replacement.

Use this fluid immediately if your transmission exhibits delayed shifts, rough engagement, slipping gears, or unusual noise. Dirty or degraded transmission fluid loses its protective properties and can cause expensive transmission damage.

Shelf Life: Store in a cool, dry place. Unopened containers remain stable for several years when kept away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this fluid in other vehicle brands?
A: No. RAVENOL ATF SP-IV is specifically formulated for Hyundai and Kia 6-speed automatic transmissions. Using the wrong fluid can damage your transmission. Always verify your vehicle's transmission type and manufacturer specification before purchasing.

Q: How do I know if my transmission fluid needs replacement?
A: Check the fluid color and smell. Fresh fluid is bright red; dark brown or black fluid with a burnt smell indicates it needs replacement. Also follow your owner's manual service schedule—don't wait for visible signs of degradation.

Q: Is synthetic transmission fluid better than conventional?
A: Yes. Synthetic fluids like RAVENOL ATF SP-IV resist breakdown longer, protect better under extreme temperatures, and extend transmission life. They cost more upfront but reduce long-term maintenance expenses and transmission repair risk.
