Recommended lubricants and capacities
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only lubricants of the proper quality.
Using the right lubricants help reduce engine friction and improve fuel efficiency.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.

1. Refer to Recommended SAE viscosity number.
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 Full synthetic> grade engine oil.
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.)
5. Different type of coolant or water may damage the electrical component.
6. To maintain your vehicle’s best brake and ABS/ESC performance, use Kia genuine brake fluid as in the specification.
