Check if the oil level is between the
F-L line and refill it if the oil level is
near the L line.
Use a funnel to help prevent oil
from being spilled on engine com-
ponents.
Use only the specified engine oil.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricantsand capacities” in chapter 8.)
The engine oil consumption may increase while you break in a new
vehicle and it will be stabilized after
driving 3,750 miles (6,000 km).
The engine oil consumption can be affected by driving habits, climate
conditions, traffic conditions, oil
quality, etc. Therefore, it is recom-
mended that you inspect the
engine oil level regularly and refill it
if necessary.
The engine oil change interval is set for the purpose of preventing oil
deterioration, and is not related the
amount of oil consumption; so,
check and refill the amount of the
oil regularly.Changing the engine oil and
filter
Have engine oil and filter changed by
an authorized Kia dealer according
to the Maintenance Schedule at the
beginning of this chapter.
If exceeding the maintenanceschedule for replacement of
engine oil, the engine oil perform-
ance may deteriorate and the
engine condition may be affected.
Therefore, the replacement cycle
should be observed.
To keep the engine in optimal con- dition, use recommended engine
oil. If not using the recommended
oil, replace it according to the
severe usage maintenance condi-
tions.

Recommended SAE viscosity
number
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has
an effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operation (engine start and
engine oil flowability). Lower viscosi-
ty engine oils can provide better fuel
economy and cold weather perform-
ance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfac-
tory lubrication in hot weather. Using
oils of any viscosity other than those
recommended could result in engine
damage. When choosing an oil, con-
sider the range of temperature your
vehicle will be operated in before the
next oil change. Proceed to select
the recommended oil viscosity from
the chart.
*1: For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE0W-20 (API SN PLUS/SP or ILSAC GF-6). However, if the engine oil is not available in your
country, select the proper engine oil using the engine oil viscosity chart.

An engine oil displaying this API Certification Mark conforms
to the international Lubricant Specification Advisory
Committee (ILSAC). It is recommended to only use engine oils
that uphold this API Certification Mark.
