My name is Janine I am the owner of a 2013 AT 4DR KIA SOUL
I am wondering if someone can tell me where to find the Automatic Transmission stick or is this a sealed transmission that only the dealer can access and do?
For Gen 1 (2009-2013) I only found this on kisouman
Automatic transaxle fluid (if equipped)
Automatic transaxle fluid should not be checked under normal usage conditions.
But in severe conditions, the fluid should be changed at an authorized Kia dealer in accordance to the scheduled maintenance at the beginning of this section.
✽ NOTICE
Automatic transaxle fluid color is basically red.
As the vehicle is driven, the automatic transaxle fluid will begin to look darker.
It is normal condition and you should not judge the need to replace the fluid based upon the changed color.
The use of a non-specified fluid could result in transaxle malfunction and failure.
Use only specified automatic transaxle fluid. (Refer to “Recommended lubricants and capacities” in section 8.)
For severe driving, changing at 60,000 miles is recommended.
