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

Changing the engine oil and
filter

an authorized Kia dealer according

• To keep the engine in optimal con-
dition, use recommended engine
oil. If not using the recommended
oil, replace it according to the
