I have had people tell me that the fluids in a manual car does not need changing. Is that true? I have about 108000 on my 2001 accent no major trouble as of yet (knock on wood) My dealership closed that i used to goto and the closest one has rude a$$ service Techs.
I don't recall the interval specified in the owner's manual, so you should check. If it were my car, I'd do it every 30k.
Thanks
In a standard transmission???
yes 5 speed
That's nuts, but it's your money to waste. That's like changing synthetic engine oil at 2,000 mile intervals.

No kiddin'. It's a manual tranny for Pete's sake. I'm curious why hyundaitech suggested it. He is usually well thought out, or speaking from observed experience.
I did my elantra every 24 months or 40,000 KM
Once upon a time, the recommended interval was 30k, but I'm remembering from cars made 15 years ago. Bottom line, you're only required to do what the manual says.
