I just got an '01 Accent the other day. It has 48K on it. I'm not sure if the previous owner ever changed the transaxle fluid. (It's an auto). I read somewhere that it should be changed at 30K. I was just going to have it changed at 60K when I take it to the dealer for its service influding timing belt change. Can I wait that long? 30K seems a little too soon to me, to be changing the auto. trans. fluid. Thanks.

PS: The trans. fluid is red, and it shifts perfectly from Park to D and R, no lag, no jerking, no unusual signs. The trans shifts firmly and smoothly through all 4 gears.

Hyundai recommends changing the fluid every 30K miles to maintain the warranty. Personally, that's when I change mine and in my opinion, a very good idea. I do not feel that is too soon.
