Changing the engine oil and filter
We recommend that the engine oil and
filter replaced by a professional work

rised 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
-
ule under severe usage conditions.
僅 The purpose of the maintenance
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 may cause skin irritation
or cancer if left in contact with the skin
for prolonged periods of time. Used
engine oil contains chemicals that have
caused cancer in laboratory animals.
Always protect your skin by washing
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.
Never add any additives to the engine
oil. Engine oil additives can change the
properties of engine oil and may cause
serious engine failure.
