Can someone please tell me what "GENUINE DIAMOND ATF SP-III" is the same as?????????? I just tried Autozone and they had no idea.

 

I tried everywhere to get that crap and they all said dealer only. You'll have to make the trip to the dealer to get it, and get ready to bend over! I was charged about $8.50 a quart. I guess Hyundai has to get money for their 100k warranty any way they can!

 

Any "SP-III" rated Tranny Fluid will do the trick. You do not need to go with the dealership/hyundai brand.

 

Amsoil has trany fluid with the same specs as what you want. E-mail them and they can give you the exact one for that.

ask for type 7176 atf or val.part # 333

 

How about Mercon/Dexron III? A guy at Advance Auto said it would work with no problems. Just want to make sure before use it...

Thanks!

What are the benefits of this type of tranny fluid?

 

9o7TiB7o9, if you are talking about the SP-III, as far as I am concerned, there is no advantage. It's a royal pain in the @$$. It's a dealer only item.

 

So, do y'all think that the Mercon/Dexron III will work? The HMAService Webtech said to use: for a 2002 Elantra GLS Auto. Should I use the Dexron or go to a different type?

Thanks,
Spatch!

 

Just went to my nearest Hyundai Dealer and bought some SP-III ATF Fluid. They wanted $5.50 eek! a quart which isn't as bad as $8.50, but is still worse than Dexron III @ $1.83 a quart...

Spatch!
