ITEM

REMARK

*1

Engine oil and engine oil filter

  • As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should be checked on regular basis.

  • The engine oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of the recommended engine specification. If the recommended engine oil specification is not used, then replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under severe operating conditions.

  • Never add any additives to the engine oil. Engine oil additives can change the properties of engine oil and may cause serious engine failure.

*2

Coolant (Engine)

When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft water for your vehicle and never mix hard water in the coolant filled at the factory. An improper coolant mixture can result in serious malfunction or engine damage.

*3

Drive belts (Engine)

  • Adjust alternator, water pump and air conditioner (if equipped) drive belt. Inspect and if necessary repair or replace.

  • Inspect drive belt tensioner, idler and alternator pulley and if necessary correct or replace.

*4

Valve clearance

Inspect for excessive valve noise and/or engine vibration and adjust if necessary. In this case, have the system checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

*5

Spark plug

For your convenience, it can be replaced prior to it's interval when you do maintenance of other items.

*6

Fuel additives (petrol)

Kia recommends that you use unleaded petrol which has an octane rating of RON (Research Octane Number) 95 / AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher (for Europe) or Octane Rating of RON (Research Octane Number) 91 / AKI (Anti Knock Index) 87 or higher (except Europe). For customers who do not use good quality petrols including fuel additives regularly, and have problems starting or the engine does not run smoothly, one bottle of additives added to the fuel tank when the engine oil is replaced. Additives are available from a professional workshop along with information on how to use them. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner. Do not mix other additives.

*

Transmission fluid

Transmission fluid should be changed anytime it has been submerged in water.

* As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the amount of regularly.

* The replacement cycle of engine oil is set by the period which the performance of our recommended engine oil should be checked engine oil is maintained. So, if recommended engine oil is not used, a replacement is required as indicated severe usage condition.
