Recommended lubricants and capacities
* 4. If the genuine oil that is developed for best performance is not used, it may cause
the problems of transmission performance.
* 5. Different type of coolant or water may damage the electrical component.
* 6. To maintain your vehicle’s best brake and ABS/ESC performance, use Kia genuine
brake fluid or those of an equivalent standard brake fluid as in the specification.
Recommended SAE viscosity number
* An engine oil displaying this API Certification Mark conforms to the interna
-
tional Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC). It is recommended to
only use engine oils that uphold this API Certification Mark.
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before
checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy
areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick
areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that
could be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather oper
-
ating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can provide
better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity engine
oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather.
Using oils of any viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine
damage.
