I really appreciate your video series on the Elantra. I have a 2016 Elantra limited and every time I previously had run into an issue because I’d overlooked something (or was just clueless from the start!) your videos have solved my problem. Now I don’t wait for issues, if you have a video for my application, I’ll watch your video first and avoid the headaches. Very clear, methodical and thorough from the tools you need to the steps throughout the entire process- All instructional videos should use this format! Thank you and best of luck to you in all your endeavors!
Thank you for your kind words! Glad you found the videos helpful!
I’m about to go on a long road trip with my 2017 and this video was so easy to understand. Thank you so much!

@@VirarAutomotive
What about the transmission fluid, I don't see where can I measure it, you said somethinng about that is sealed! Is that what you mean? My excuses but I speak Spanish and all the places I visited today to ask doesn't mention where is the place to look, even the Spanish sites,and I was looking in the guide that came with the vehicle and they don't show nothing! thanks! Can you show me?
@@robertolopez391 en la parte donde está el filtro de aire casi junto al radiador esta un tapón que se afloja con una extensión de 3/4,ahí es donde se pone el fluido de transmisión, no tiene medidor de fluido, solo para sacarse tiene un nivel que se afloja, pero esta por abajo del carro,se tiene que quitar la tapadera protectora y ahí esta

Gracias hermano!!👏👍
Really good. THANKS
Glad it helped!
Can I get assistance in regards with the steering that make noise when it turning, so what is the problems, am driving hyndai Elantra 2011 model
Sorry, I am not a mechanic so I couldn't quite help you much with the problem. Sorry.
As always fascinated.
Thank you very much 😊
Dear Jash "may you run many many lovely miles in your life always ahead and happily ever after." Happy birthday!!!!!!!!!
I have around 52k miles on my car. I don't know if it's the right time to do transmission fluid change but I do a lot of city driving. Would you recommend it?
I personally think it is a little early for a transmission fluid change as that vehicle is rated for 'lifetime' fluid service life. However, since your driving is predominantly in the city, you may get a transmission flush at 60k miles. That way its just an easier number to remember the service mileage for records.
Can I add different brand coolant to the aux water reservior?
Yeah as long as it's one that's compatible with other coolants. It usually states that on the container.
When I put gas upon starting car, there is a sound like air being pushed out ...it stops as you drive further
Thanks for the video but what about power steering fluid
This has has a electric power steering system so no power steering pump, power steering fluid or power steering fluid lines and pipes to worry about. The power steering system works off of a electric motor that is mounted on the steering column.
Just did it! I'm in Florida so we have no winters. So I just added water to the washer. It was tough to see the coolant level.
Great going! Comments like your's make my day!
How do you check the transmission fluid???
There is no quick way to check the transmission fluid. No dipstick. The transmission is 'sealed'. However there is a way to drain and refill transmission fluid if you choose to get that done. The car has to be on a hoist to drain and refill the transmission fluid.
Clutch master cylinder reservoir?
This was an automatic vehicle, so I couldn't talk about the clutch fluid reservoir. However, I checked the owners manual and the clutch reservoir and brake reservoir are the same for this vehicle. Brake/clutch fluid share the same reservoir. It's a common practise I have seen on many other vehicles.
How about the power stirring oil? Great video by the way!
Thank you for the kind words. This vehicle has a Electric power steering. No hydraulic power steering like older models, so no power steering fluid to worry about.
If that's the case then why does my steering wheel make a sound when I turn it ? @@VirarAutomotive
Is that the clicking noise, right when you turn the steering left or right ?
@@VirarAutomotive yea it recently started making a clicking sound when I turn either direction
Yeah that's very common issue with a lot of Hyundais. The problem is a small plastic piece. The part itself is only 15-20$. Takes about 2 hours of mechanic labor to replace it.

Where is the power steering fluid reservoir?
No power steering fluid reservoir is this is not a hydraulic power steering system..so no fluid to worry about. This car has an electric power steering system
@@VirarAutomotive Thanks for your response- I felt awful stupid after standing there looking for it for ten minutes.. : )
Where does the power steering fluid go
No Power steering fluid as this is a electric power steering system. I talk about it later in the video.
What about transmission oil??? Please help
czcams.com/video/B3r1DHC-gCI/video.html
I talk about it at the end of the video.

Now older vehicles had transmissions where you could check the fluid. There used to be a dipstick, to check condition of oil and replace it when it went bad. Newer vehicles, like the 2011-2016 Hyundai Elantra and the 2017-2018 Hyundai Elantra, have transmissions which are filled with transmission fluid that has a very long life. This transmission fluid is supposed to last the life of the vehicle. However, if you are going to keep the car for a long time, I suggest you drain and refill new fluid every 160,000 kms. On the bottom of the transmission there should be a drain plug and fill plug to put the new fluid.
Hopefully this helps! 😁
@@VirarAutomotive
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question.
I received in my email!!
@Roberto Lopez you are very welcome Senor
@@VirarAutomotive
Gracias Virar!!
Power steering?
Electric power steering, so no power steering fluid to worry about.
U missed steering fluid or is it I missed to hear what you said ?
There is no power steering fluid in this car as it has an electric power steering system. I do talk about it in the later parts of the video. Similar case with transmission fluid.
you need to tell clients about the strainer...this strainer limits the flow of brake fluid when filling if you want it to fill faster hold the strainer off to one side but you will have to get your fingers wet or wear gloves this is still time-consuming but it will get done... hold the strainer off to one side and repeat
Thank you for sharing!
What about the transmission fluid ?
The transmission is sealed. No dipstick to check the fluid quality and level.
@@VirarAutomotive well that's stupid ....
That is just the way it is now for almost all modern cars. The transmission fluid is supposed to last the life of the vehicle. However, I would still suggest you replace it every 100000 miles/160000 kms.
@@VirarAutomotive Does the mechanic do that with these modern transmissions?
Mechanics don't check for the fluid either. However there is a way for you flush the old fluid and refill with new fluid. Some mechanics and often quick lube shops try to sell it to you even when you don't need the fluid flush to make quick money 💰
Where is the power steering fluid?
Electric power steering. No fluid.
When I try to top off the brake fluid, it just overflows instead of filling up the reservoir. The fluid is right at the minimum line, so why is this happening?? Please Help😫 (Great video btw!💯)
Thank you.
That just sounds odd. Just to be sure, could you confirm that the fluid was at minimum level and when you opened up the reservoir you couldn't see anything in there?
Just to note it doesn't take a lot of fluid to top off the brake fluid reservoir. Maybe just 40-50 ml of fluid and that's about it
@@VirarAutomotive Yes, brake fluid is at the minimum line. As soon as I started pouring, it started to overflow. I thought maybe the red piece (filter) needed to be removed in order to allow it to go down. I couldn’t get it off and didn’t want to force it, so I sopped up the stagnant fluid with some paper towels and put the cap back on. Not sure what to do. I was trying to avoid a trip to the mechanic for something that I could do myself, but I may have to end up finding one to help me.😕Thank you for responding! If you think of anything that might help, please let me know.
@@dreamcometrue6708 Sorry to hear that. If I do think of something, I will reply here. :)
Where do I check the transmission fluid Please
nobody knows! How come?
Hyundai Elantra 2018?

This is the video to check and fill fluids that I made just for the 2017-2018 Hyundai Elantra. Now older vehicles had transmissions where you could check the fluid. There used to be a dipstick, to check condition of oil and replace it when it went bad. Newer vehicles, like the 2011-2016 Hyundai Elantra and the 2017-2018 Hyundai Elantra, have transmissions which are filled with transmission fluid that has a very long life. This transmission fluid is supposed to last the life of the vehicle. However, if you are going to keep the car for a long time, I suggest you drain and refill new fluid every 160,000 kms. On the bottom of the transmission there should be a drain plug and fill plug to put the new fluid.
Hopefully this helps! 😁
Very nice video. Please be my friend.
Thanks. Sure, let's be friends.
U forgot to mention the power steering fluid!!!!
No power steering fluid as it's an electric power steering system
U never really said how to check transmission fluid
If you watch till the end of the video you notice I do talk about the transmission fluid. There is no dipstick or view port to check the transmission level. If you want however you can drain and refill it with new fluid, but there is no quick and easy to just check the transmission fluid level or quality
@@VirarAutomotive u talk but didn't show where it was or how to remove even though it does not have a dipstick
