Engine Oil; Checking The Engine Oil Level - Kia Sedona 2014 Owner's Manual

ENGINE OIL

Checking the engine oil level

1. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to reach
normal operating temperature.
3. Turn the engine off and wait for a few
minutes (about 5 minutes) for the oil to
return to the oil pan.
4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and
re-insert it fully.
WARNING -
Radiator hose
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking or
adding the engine oil as it may be
hot enough to burn you.
5. Pull the dipstick out again and check
the level. The level should be between
F and L.
OVQ066002N
If it is near or at L, add enough oil to bring
the level to F. Do not overfill.
Use a funnel to refill the new oil com-
fortably.
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to "Recommended Lubricants" later in
this section.)
Have engine oil and filter changed by an
Authorized Kia Dealer according to the
Maintenance Schedule at the beginning
of this section.

mals. Always protect your skin by
