How to properly maintain your Kia Sorento's transmission?

I recently purchased a Kia Sorento and I want to make sure I am properly maintaining its transmission. What are some tips and advice you can give me to ensure the longevity of my Sorento's transmission?

First and foremost, make sure to regularly check your transmission fluid levels. Low fluid can cause damage to your transmission and lead to expensive repairs. Also, follow the recommended transmission service schedule outlined in your owner's manual. This may include fluid changes every 30,000 miles or so.

Avoid excessive towing or hauling heavy loads with your Sorento. This can put added strain on your transmission and cause it to wear out faster. If you do need to tow, make sure to use proper towing equipment and never exceed the recommended towing capacity for your vehicle.

In addition to regular maintenance and driving practices, pay attention to any unusual noises or sensations while driving. These could be indicators of transmission problems and it's important to address them as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

Lastly, always make sure to have your Sorento serviced at a reputable dealership or mechanic who is familiar with Kia vehicles. They will have the expertise and resources to properly diagnose and fix any transmission issues that may arise.
