The 2012 Hyundai Sonata requires the use of automatic transmission fluid meeting the DEXRON-VI standard. It's recommended that You select an ATF from a reputable brand, due largely to the fact that it can be catastrophically expensive to fix or replace a transmission that's damaged by low quality fluid. In addition, it's important to change Your transmission fluid at regular intervals, preferably between 25,000 and 40,000 miles. It may be possible that changing is not enough; it's also wise to inspect Your fluid levels in between. This is recommended at around 10,000 mile intervals. Low or broken down fluid can quickly lead to transmission overheating, which is the leading cause of transmission failure. In order to keep Your Sonata running for years to come, You'll need to stay on top of this regular maintenance.
