Scheduled maintenance service
*1. 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 customers who do not use good
quality gasolines including fuel addi
-
tives regularly, and have problems
starting or the engine does not run
smoothly, one bottle of additives
should be added to the fuel tank at
every 8,000 miles (13,000 km).
Additives are available from an
authorized Kia dealer. Do not mix
with other additives.
*2. Engine oil and engine oil filter
Check the engine oil level and leaks
when stopping for fuel or before
starting a long trip. As it is normal
for engine oil to be consumed during
driving, the amount of engine oil
should be checked regularly.
The replacement cycle of engine oil
is set by the period which the per
-
formance of our recommended
engine oil is maintained. So, if rec
-
ommended engine oil is not used, a
replacement is required as indicated
severe usage condition.
Refer to "Recommended SAE vis
-
cosity number" on page 8-7.
Requires full synthetic API SN PLUS
(ILSAC Latest) grade engine oil.
*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 mix
-
ture can result in serious malfunc
-
tion or engine damage.
