Purpose and Specifications

RAVENOL ATF RED-1 is a fully synthetic automatic transmission fluid engineered for Hyundai and KIA 5-speed automatic transmissions (A5SR1 and A5SR2 models). This fluid combines advanced PAO synthetic technology with specialized additives to protect your transmission under all driving conditions.

Compatible Vehicles: KIA Sorento, KIA Mohave, Hyundai Genesis Coupe, Hyundai H-1, Hyundai Grand Starex, and Hyundai i800.

Key Performance Benefits:

• Flows smoothly even in winter cold, ensuring quick gear engagement when you start your vehicle
• Maintains consistent thickness across temperature ranges, protecting internal transmission parts from wear
• Resists breakdown from heat and oxidation, extending fluid life
• Reduces foam and corrosion, keeping transmission components clean and functioning smoothly
• Excellent cooling capacity to manage transmission heat during heavy driving

When to Use / Replace?

Replace your transmission fluid every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers or every 4 to 5 years, whichever comes first. If you frequently tow, drive in stop-and-go traffic, or operate in extreme heat, consider replacing every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. This fluid operates effectively between -30°C and +150°C, making it suitable for most climates.

Always check your vehicle's owner manual for specific service intervals. Using the correct OEM-approved fluid (Hyundai 04500-00140, KIA 04500-00140, or KIA UM040-CH020) ensures warranty coverage and optimal transmission performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I mix RAVENOL ATF RED-1 with other transmission fluids?
A: No. Always drain the old fluid completely before refilling. Mixing different fluid types can reduce protection and cause transmission problems. A complete drain-and-fill is the safest approach.

Q: How do I know if my transmission fluid needs changing?
A: Check the fluid color and smell. Fresh fluid is bright red; dark brown or burnt-smelling fluid indicates it needs replacement. Delayed gear shifts or rough transitions also signal that a fluid change is overdue.

Q: Is RAVENOL ATF RED-1 better than dealer fluid?
A: RAVENOL meets or exceeds OEM specifications and costs less than dealer-branded fluid. Many owners report smoother shifting and improved transmission performance after switching to RAVENOL, while maintaining full compatibility with Hyundai and KIA transmissions.
