(Refer to "Recommended lubricants and

僅 Do not spill engine oil when adding or
changing engine oil. Wipe off spilled
oil immediately.
僅 The engine oil consumption may
increase whilst you break in a new
vehicle and it will be stabilized after
driving 6,000 km (4,000 miles).
僅 The engine oil consumption can be
affected by driving habits, climate
conditions, traffic conditions, oil qual
-
ity, etc. Therefore, it is recommended
that you inspect the engine oil level
regularly and refill it if necessary.
Changing the engine oil and filter
Have the engine oil and filter replaced
by a professional workshop. Kia recom

mends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/
service partner.
僅 If the maintenance schedule to
replace engine oil is exceeded, the
engine oil performance may deterio
-
rate, and the engine condition may be
affected. Therefore, replace the
engine oil according to the mainte
-
nance schedule.
僅 To keep the engine in optimal condi

tion, use the recommended engine oil
and filter. If the recommended engine
oil and filter are not used replace it
according to the maintenance sched

schedule for engine oil replacement is
to prevent oil deterioration and it is
irrelevant to oil consumption. Check
and refill engine oil regularly.
Used engine oil
Used engine oil may cause irritation or
cancer of the skin if left in contact with
the skin for prolonged periods of time.
Used engine oil contains chemicals that
have caused cancer in laboratory ani

ing your hands thoroughly with soap
and warm water as soon as possible
after handling used oil.
Do not leave used engine oil within the
reach of children.
The engine oil is very hot immediately
after the vehicle has been driven and
can cause burns during replacement.
Replace the engine oil after the engine
oil has cooled down.
僅 When the oil pressure is low due to
insufficient engine oil, the Engine Oil
Pressure ( ) warning light will
illuminate. In addition, the enhanced
engine protection system, which limits
the engine's power is activated and
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
( ) will illuminate when the vehi
-
cle is driven in this state continuously.
When oil pressure is restored, the
Engine Oil Pressure warning light will
turn off and the engine power will no
