OWNER MAINTENANCE Owner maintenance schedule The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per-
formed by the owner or qualified
service technician at the frequencies
indicated to help ensure safe,
dependable operation of your vehi-
cle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your deal-
er or qualified service technician or
service advice as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance Checks
are generally not covered by war-
ranties and you may be charged for
labor, parts and lubricants used.
When you stop for fuel: Check the engine oil level.
Check coolant level in coolantreservoir.
Check the windshield washer fluid level.
Look for low or under-inflated tires.
While operating your vehicle: Note any changes in the sound of the exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.
Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steer-
ing effort or looseness in the steer-
ing wheel, or change in its straight-
ahead position.
Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when traveling on smooth, level
road.
When stopping, listen and check for strange sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or “hard-to-push” brake pedal.
If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transaxle occurs,
check the transaxle fluid level.
Check automatic transaxle P (Park) function.
Check parking brake.
Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system after use is
normal).
WARNING
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. Scalding hot
coolant and steam may blow out
under pressure. This could
cause serious injury.

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTERChecking the engine oil level 1. Be sure the vehicle is on level
ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating tempera-
ture.
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.
5. Pull the dipstick out again and check the level. The level should
be between F and L.
If it is near or at L, add enough oil to
bring the level to F. Do not overfill.
Use only the specified engine oil.
(Refer to “Recommended Lubricants”later in this section.)
Changing the engine oil and
filterChange engine oil and filter accord-
ing to the Scheduled Maintenance at

1. Warm the engine up for a few min-utes and then turn it off. Remove
the oil filler cap.
2. Drain the oil into a suitable con- tainer by removing the oil drain
plug. 3. Remove the engine oil filter with
an oil filter wrench.
✽ ✽NOTICEDo not allow the oil filter gasket to
remain on the oil filter mounting
surface. This will cause oil leakage
and engine damage. Remove the old
gasket completely so that a new gas-
ket may be properly seated. 4. Use a clean rag to clean the oil fil-
ter mounting surface on the
engine.
5. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the new oil filter O-ring seal. 6. Install the oil filter and tighten it.
(Refer to the oil filter caution label
for tightening instructions.)
7. Install a new washer on the drain plug. Don’t use an old washer
repeatedly.
8. Replace the drain plug after the oil has thoroughly drained. Torque the
plug to 3.5~4.5 kgm (26~32 lbft,
35~44 Nm).
9. Refill the engine with new oil to the F mark on the dipstick. Do not
overfill.
10. Reinstall the oil filler cap secure- ly.
11. Start the engine and inspect around the oil filter seal for leaks.
Stop the engine.
12. Check the oil level and fill to the F mark as necessary.
PROPOSITION 65
WARNING
Used engine oil may cause irri-
tation or cancer of the skin if left
in contact with the skin for pro-
longed periods of time. Used
engine oil contains chemicals
that have caused cancer in lab-
oratory animals. Always protect
your skin by washing your
hands thoroughly with soap and
warm water as soon as possible
after handling used oil.
CAUTION
Both the oil and engine arehot. Do not burn yourself.
Keep all engine oil out of the reach of children.

Oil capacity With filter change :
4.3 liters (4.5 US qt.)
Without filter change :
4.0 liters (4.2 US qt.)Use only the specified Service
Grade engine oil. (Refer to“Recommended Lubricants” later inthis section.)
✽ ✽ NOTICE• Although oil filters may have the
same external appearance, their
internal designs differ significant-
ly. These filters are not inter-
changeable. To avoid potential
engine damage, use only the speci-
fied filter. Consult an Authorized
Kia Dealer.
• Follow these instructions careful- ly. An improper oil filter installa-
tion can cause oil leakage and
engine damage. Drained engine oil
should be disposed of properly,
according to local environmental
protection agency codes. It should
not be thrown down the drain or
in the trash.
