Scheduled maintenance service
* As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the amount of engine
oil should be checked regularly.
* The replacement cycle of engine oil is set by the period which the performance of
our recommended engine oil is maintained. So, if recommended engine oil is not
used, a replacement is required as indicated severe usage condition.
I: Inspect and if necessary, adjust, correct, clean or replace.
R: Replace or change.
* 9 Fuel additives (Petrol)
Kia recommends that you use unleaded petrol which has an octane
rating of RON (Research Octane Number) 95 / AKI (Anti Knock
Index) 91 or higher (for Europe) or Octane Rating of RON (Research
Octane Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index) 87 or higher (except
Europe).
For customers who do not use good quality petrols including fuel
additives regularly, and have problems starting or the engine does
not run smoothly, one bottle of additives should be added to the
fuel tank at every 15,000 km (10,000 miles) (for Europe, Australia
and New Zealand) / 10,000 km (6,500 miles) (except Europe, Aus
-
tralia and New Zealand, China, Brazil) / 5,000 km (3,000 miles) (for
China, Brazil). Additives are available from a professional workshop
along with information on how to use them. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner. Do not mix other
