Engine oil and engine oil filter

Check the engine oil level and leak every 500 km (350 miles) or before starting a long trip.

Engine oil and engine oil filter
(For Diesel Engine, Europe)

•	If the recommended oil is not available, replace engine oil and engine oil filter every 20,000km(13,000miles) or 12 months.

•	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.

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.

Drive belts (Engine)

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

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

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 authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

Spark plug

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

Differential oil (rear, front)

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

Differential oil (rear) - With LSD

When replacing differential oil with LSD, use only specified LSD oil.

Fuel additives (Gasoline)

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 added to the fuel tank at every 15,000 km (10,000 miles) (For Australia and New Zealand) / 10,000 km (6,500 miles) (Except Australia and New Zealand, China, Brazil) / 5,000 km (3,000 miles) (For China, Brazil). 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.

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. 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 for more details. Kia recommends to consult an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
