Radiator hose
Be very careful not to touch the radiator
hose when checking or adding the
engine oil as it may be hot enough to
burn you.
CAUTION
When you wipe the oil level gauge, you
should wipe it with a clean cloth. When
mixed with debris, it can cause engine
damage.
Use a funnel to help prevent oil from
being spilled on engine components.
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to "Recommended lubricants and capac
-
ities" on page 9-9.)
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 4,000 miles (6,000 km).
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
We recommend that the engine oil and
filter be replaced by an authorised Kia
dealer according to the Maintenance
Schedule at the beginning of this chap

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

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.

cancer of the skin if left in contact with
