僅 As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should
be checked on regular basis.
僅 The engine oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of
the recommended engine specification. If the recommended engine oil specification is
not used, then replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under
severe operating conditions.
僅 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 cov-
ered by warranty.
僅 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.
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.
僅 Adjust alternator, water pump and air conditioner drive belt. Inspect and if necessary
repair or replace.
僅 Inspect drive belt tensioner, idler and alternator pulley and if necessary correct or
replace.
For your convenience, it can be replaced prior to it's interval when you do maintenance of
other items.
Kia recommends that you use unleaded petrol 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 authorised Kia dealer/service partner. Do not mix other additives.
This maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. It is applicable only when using a qual-
ified 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) inspec-
tion, 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.
