Maintenance Engine oil (for diesel)
WARNING
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 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 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
We recommend that the engine oil and
filter replaced by a professional work -
shop. Kia recommends to visit an autho -
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.
WARNING
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.
CAUTION
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
