(For Diesel Engine, Europe)
• If the recommended oil is not available, replace engine oil and engine oil filter every
20,000km(13,000miles) or 12 months.
• The engine oil level should be checked regularly and maintained properly. Operating
with an insufficient amount oil can damage the engine, and such damage is not covered
by warranty.
• This maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. It is applicable only when using a
qualified fuel <"EN590 or equivalent">. If the diesel fuel specifications don't meet the
EN590, it must be replaced according to the severe maintenance schedule.
*3 Coolant (Engine)
When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft water for your vehicle and never
mix hard water in the coolant filled at the factory. An improper coolant mixture can result
in serious malfunction or engine damage.
*4 Drive belts (Engine)
• Adjust alternator, water pump and air conditioner drive belt. Inspect and if necessary
repair or replace.
• Inspect drive belt tensioner, idler and alternator pulley and if necessary correct or replace.
*5 Valve clearance
Inspect for excessive valve noise and/or engine vibration and adjust if necessary. In this
case, have the system checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
