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.)

AIR CLEANER Element cleaningThis element may be air cleaned or
replaced, depending on its condition.
Unless it is very dirty, merely shake it
to remove foreign particles. Each
time this filter is inspected, wipe the
inside of the air cleaner housing and
cover with a damp cloth. If the vehi-
cle is operated in extremely dusty or
sandy areas, clean or replace this
element more often than at the usual
recommended intervals.
1LDA5010
CAUTION
 Do not drive with the air clean-er removed; this will result in
excessive engine wear.
 Driving without an air cleaner encourages backfiring, which
could cause a fire in the
engine compartment.

AIR CONDITIONER AIR FILTER (IF EQUIPPED)The air conditioner air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust
or other pollutants that come into the
vehicle from the outside through the
heating and air conditioning system.
If dust or other pollutants accumulate
in the filter over a period of time, the
air flow from the air vents may
decrease, resulting in moisture accu-
mulation on the inside of the wind-
shield even when the outside (fresh)
are position is selected. If this hap-
pens, have the air conditioner air fil-
ter replaced by an Authorized Kia
Dealer. The air filter should be replaced
every 15,000 km. If the vehicle is
operated in the severely air-polluted
cities or on dusty rough roads for a
long periods, it should be inspected
more frequently and replaced earlier.
When you try to replace the air filter
by owner maintenance, replace it
performing the following procedure,
and in this case, be careful to avoid
damaging other components.
