*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 : Requires <API Latest (or ILSAC Latest) or ACEA A5/B5 Full synthetic> grade engine oil. If a lower grade engine oil (mineral oil including Semi-synthetic) is used, then the engine oil and engine oil filter must be replaced as indicated severe maintenance condition.

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

*5 : Regardless of oil change intervals, replace oil immediately if Rear-Differential or Front-Differential is submerged.

*6 : Be sure to inject oil for exclusive use of LSD when replacing Rear Differential (for LSD) Oil.
