Seriously? You shouldn't mod a car if you can't stand to hit TWO grease fittings with grease every oil change or so. You'd die if you had a truck with half a dozen or so to grease up.

Didn't mean an insult by that, but the way your post was structured (either Hyundai service or a local shop) I figured you don't have a place where you can do it yourself. So that was more of an indirect question, should've probably expressed myself better on that one...

No flush is required. In fact, many US dealers DON'T EVEN HAVE FLUSH MACHINES. Drain and fill every 25-30k and the trans will last a long life.

I was under the impression that it was done with a machine that flushes the system under pressure as well as use some kind of cleaner along with the oil. Surely this cant be as involved as when I changed the timing belt, and if it was a DIY job I'd...

Aww, Evan, don't be sad. It's like an XD2 version of your old car. Car looks good Snooze. (Matt, you are probably right...)
