*1. Refer to "Recommended SAE viscosity number" on page 9-10.
*2. Requires <API SN PLUS (or above) 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.
*3. Requires <API SN PLUS (or above) or ACEA C2/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. If the genuine oil that is developed for best performance is not used, it may cause
the problems of transmission performance.
*5. To maintain your vehicle's best performance, use Kia genuine oil or those of an

Recommended SAE viscosity number
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before
checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy
areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick
areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that
could be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather oper-
ating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can provide
better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity engine
oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather.
Using oils of any viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine
damage.
