Configuration-specific service and fitment facts

These sourced values are shared by the specification sheet and the maintenance guides for this exact configuration.

Automatic transmission fluid
Approved ATF SP-IV: SK ATF SP-IV, MICHANG ATF SP-IV or NOCA ATF SP-IV Verified
Brake fluid
DOT 3 or DOT 4 Verified
Coolant specification
Phosphate-based ethylene-glycol coolant for an aluminum radiator; use the prescribed mixture Verified
Engine oil refill with filter
5.1 US qt Verified
Engine oil viscosity
SAE 5W-30 preferred Verified
Engine oil specification
ACEA A5 or above VerifiedUse the exact approved specification. The manual wording does not establish interchangeability with every newer ACEA category.
Engine coolant capacity
7.6 US qt VerifiedOwner-manual system capacity, not an established drain/refill quantity. The actual amount after draining depends on retained coolant; use the matching fill and bleed procedure.
Cabin filters required
1 VerifiedOne cabin-filter element per normal housing replacement. No HEPA assembly or multi-filter package is inferred.
Original tire pressure, front
35 psi Verified240 kPa (35 psi) is specified for front and rear at both normal load (up to three people) and maximum load. Match the original tire size and vehicle placard. This is not the compact-spare pressure.
Original tire pressure, rear
35 psi Verified240 kPa (35 psi) is specified for front and rear at both normal load (up to three people) and maximum load. Match the original tire size and vehicle placard. This is not the compact-spare pressure.
Original tire load and speed specification
245/45R19 98H VerifiedOriginal full-size tire load index and speed symbol. Use the matching vehicle placard and originally supplied size. The manual lists a wheel-lug torque range of 107–127 N·m, not a single fixed torque. Two compact-spare load-index rows remain unresolved and are not assigned.
Oil filter applications
K&N HP-1004 VerifiedOne filter per oil service. Manufacturer fitment is separate from oil specification, drain-plug washer and torque. The existing HP-1004 product record can be reused after the complete material set is reviewed.
Engine air filter application
K&N33-5046 VerifiedAftermarket K&N catalog application; Kia owner manual recommends a Kia genuine part and warns that a non-genuine part could damage the air-flow sensor. OEM disposable element must not be washed; follow the selected aftermarket manufacturer instructions separately.
Cabin filter application
K&N VF2062 VerifiedK&N manufacturer application for VF2062 reusable cabin filter. Quantity1 comes from Kia single-filter housing/replacement procedure, not retail pack size. Kia disposable schedule and K&N reusable refresh instruction remain separate.
Front wiper set application
K&N Edge92-2616,26-inch/16-inch pair VerifiedFront set only. Card does not independently assign driver/passenger sides or establish the rear blade.

01

Engine oil and filter

Match both the oil grade and specification to this engine. Check the refill conditions before buying oil, then use the dipstick to confirm the final level.

Verified1 compatible products
02

Automatic transmission fluid

Match the fluid to the exact transmission, not just the vehicle model. A drain-and-refill amount differs from the total dry capacity.

Verified
03

Brake fluid and inspection

Check the reservoir and inspect any low level, warning light or changed pedal feel before driving. Repeated topping-up is not a repair.

Verified
06

Engine coolant

Check the reservoir level with the engine cold and investigate repeated coolant loss. Coolant type and replacement procedure matter as much as capacity.

Verified
07

Spark plugs

Use the engine-specific plug type. Check the service schedule and inspect ignition faults before replacing parts.

Verified
08

Tires and rotation

Check cold pressures, tread wear and damage. Use the vehicle placard for the fitted tire size and load rather than the tire sidewall maximum.

Verified
09

Wiper blades and washer fluid

Replace damaged or streaking blades after checking that the glass and rubber are clean. Confirm the driver/passenger lengths and connector before ordering.
