Last week I bought a used car. It is a Hyundai Elantra 4Dr GLS sedan, 70500 miles. I have done the following works:
1) replaced the battery with a brand new one
2) Motor oil flush with Penzoil 5W 30
3) Brake system flush
4) Performed a 38 point AAA check
5) Coolant level is good and looks pretty clean ( clear green solution).
6) Transmission flush with Valvoline Maxlife ATF.
When I checked the Hyundai manual, it requires SPII or SPIII ATF. I asked thhis to the mechanic where I did the transmission flush (kwik Kar) and he said Valvoline Maxlife is compatible for SPIII.
It it true? I have to make sure that I am not killing the transmission.
Thank you
