Remark

1

Engine oil and engine oil filter

  • Engine oil is consumed while driving and the engine oil level should be checked on regular basis.

  • The engine oil change interval under normal operating conditions is based on the use of engine oil that meets the recommended engine specification for your vehicle. If any other type of engine oil is used, 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 its properties of engine oil and may cause serious engine failure.

2

Engine oil and engine oil filter (Diesel)

  • The engine oil level should be checked regularly and maintained properly. Operating with an insufficient amount oil can damage the engine, and such damage is not covered by warranty.

  • This maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. It is applicable only when using a qualified fuel <"EN590 or equivalent">. If the diesel fuel specifications don't meet the EN590, it must be replaced according to the severe maintenance schedule.

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

3

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.

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

4

Drive belts (Engine)

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

  • If a part of the engine may be submerged in water (e.g., crossing a river), the drive belt should be inspected separately from the inspection cycle and, if necessary, the belt should be replaced.

5

Spark plug

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

6

Front differential oil (AWD)

Differential oil should be changed anytime it has been submerged in water.

Rear differential oil

7

Transfer case oil (AWD)

Transfer case oil should be changed anytime it has been submerged in water.

If transfer case oil is not changed every maintenance schedule, vibration and noise may occur.

8

Fuel additives

Kia recommends that you use unleaded gasoline 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 gasolines including fuel additives regularly, and have problems starting or the engine does not run smoothly, one bottle of additives should be 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 authorized Kia dealer/service partner. Do not mix other additives.

9

Fuel filter cartridge (Diesel)

This maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. It is applicable only when using a qualified fuel <"EN590 or equivalent">. If the diesel fuel specifications don’t meet the EN590, it must be replaced more frequently. Kia recommend "every 7,500 km (5,000 miles) inspection, every 15,000 km (10,000 miles) replacement". If there are some important safety matters like fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of power, hard starting problem etc, replace the fuel filter immediately regardless of maintenance schedule and consult a professional workshop. Kia recommends to consult an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
