RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES

To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only lubricants of the proper quality.

The correct lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.

These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.

Lubricant			Volume (L)	Classification
Engine oil^1^2 (drain and refill)	Gasoline Engine	(Gasoline) 3.8 GDi	6.5 L (6.87 US. qt.)	ACEA A5 or above^*3
Automatic transmission fluid	Gasoline Engine	(Gasoline) 3.8 GDi	7.0 L (7.4 US. qt.)	SP-IV(M1) (Recommended : SK ATF SP4M-1, MICHANG ATF SP4M-1, S-OIL ATF SP4M-1)^*4
Coolant	Gasoline Engine	(Gasoline) 3.8 GDi	Approx. 12.2 L (12.9 US. qt.)	Mixture of antifreeze and distilled water (Ethylene glycol base coolant for aluminum radiator)
Brake fluid	Gasoline Engine	(Gasoline) 3.8 GDi	0.44~0.48 L (0.47~0.51 US. qt.)	SAE J1704 DOT-4 LV, ISO4925 CLASS-6, FMVSS 116 DOT-4
Rear differential oil (AWD)			0.70 ± 0.05 L (0.74 ± 0.05 US. qt.)	HYPOID GEAR OIL API GL-5, SAE 75W/85 (SK HCT-5 GEAR OIL 75W/85 or equivalent)
Transfer case oil (AWD)	Gasoline Engine	(Gasoline) 3.8 GDi	0.7 L (0.74 US. qt.)	HYPOID GEAR OIL API GL-5, SAE 75W/85 (Recommended: SK HCT-5 GEAR OIL 75W85 or equivalent)
Fuel			71 L (75 US. qt.)	Refer to Fuel requirements in chapter 1

*1. Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.

*2. Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.

*3. If the ACEA A5 engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API service SL, IL SAC GF-3, ACEA A3.

*4. Use only specified genuine Automatic transmission fluid. The use of non-specified fluid (even marked as compatible with genuine) could result in shift quality deterioration and vibrations, eventually, the transmission failure. (Refer to "Explanation of scheduled maintenance items" in chapter 7.)

*5. To maintain your vehicle’s best brake and ABS/ESC performance, use Kia genuine brake fluid as in the specification.
