C . 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 owners
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 at every 8,000 miles .
Additives are available from an authorized Kia dealer .
Do not mix with other additives .
D . 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 engine oil
level should be checked on regular basis . 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 .
