If it is near or at L (Low), add enough

Use only the specified engine oil.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricants
and capacities” on page 9-11.)
Changing the engine oil and filter
Have the engine oil and filter
replaced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit
an authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
WARNING
Used engine oil may cause skin
irritation or cancer if left in contact
with the skin for prolonged periods
of time. Used engine oil contains
chemicals that have caused cancer in
laboratory animals. Always protect
your skin by washing your hands
thoroughly with soap and warm
water as soon as possible after
handling used oil.
Engine coolant
The high-pressure cooling system
has a reservoir filled with year round
antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is
filled at the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at
the beginning of the winter season,
and before traveling to a colder
climate.
CAUTION
• When the engine overheats from
low engine coolant, suddenly
adding engine coolant may cause
cracks in the engine. To prevent
damage, add engine coolant slowly
in small quantities.
• Do not drive with no engine
coolant. It may cause water pump
failure and engine seizure, etc.
Checking the coolant level
CAUTION
Removing radiator
cap
Never attempt to
remove the radiator
cap while the engine is operating or
hot. Doing so might lead to cooling
system and engine damage. Also,
hot coolant or steam could cause
serious personal injury.
