•  Repeated driving short distances of less than 5 miles (8 km) in normal temperature or less than 10 miles (16 km) in freezing temperature
•  Extensive engine idling or low-speed driving for long distances
• Driving on rough, dusty, muddy, unpaved, gravelled or salt-spread roads
• Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials or in very cold weather Driving in heavy dust conditions Driving in heavy traffic areas Driving on uphill, downhill, or mountain roads repeatedly
•  Using for towing or camping, and driving with loading on the roof.
• Driving as a patrol car, taxi, or other commercial use of vehicle towing
• Frequently driving under high speed or rapid acceleration/deceleration.
•  Frequently driving in stop-and-go  condition

If your vehicle operates under the following conditions, you should inspect, replace or refill more frequently or follow the Severe Maintenance schedule. After the periods or distance shown in the chart, continue to follow the prescribed maintenance intervals.

Normal Maintenance Schedule – Turbo Models (For Smartstream G2.5 FR T-GDi)
The following maintenance services must be performed to ensure good emission control and performance. Keep receipts for all vehicle emission services to protect your warranty. Where both mileage and time are shown, the frequency of service is determined by whichever occurs first.
I: Inspect and if necessary, adjust, correct, clean or replace.
R: Replace or change.

1.  Fuel additives: Kia recommends that you use unleaded gasoline which has an octane rating of RON (Research Octane Number) 95/AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher. For customers who do not use good quality gasoline including fuel additives regularly, and have problems start-ing or the engine does not run smoothly, one bottle of additives should be added to the fuel tank at every 8,000miles (13,000km).Additives are available from an authorized Kia dealer. Do not mix with other additives.
2.  Engine oil and engine oil filter: Check the engine oil level and leaks when stopping for fuel or before starting a long trip. As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should be checked on regular basis. The engine oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of the recommended engine specification. If the recommended engine oil specification is not used, then replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under severe operating conditions. 
3. Differential oil (rear, front) (AWD): Differential oil should be changed anytime they have been submerged in water.
4. Differential oil (rear) With LSD: When replacing differential oil with LSD, use only specified LSD oil.
5. Spark plug: For your convenience, it can be replaced prior to it’s interval when you do maintenance of other items.
6.  Coolant (Engine): When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft water for your vehicle and never mix hard water in the coolant filled at the factory. An improper coolant mixture can result in serious malfunction or engine damage.
7.  Drive belts (Engine): Inspect alternator, water pump and air conditioner drive belt and if necessary, repair or replace .Inspect drive belt tensioner, idler and alternator pulley and if necessary correct or replace.
8. Transfer case oil (AWD): Fluids should be changed anytime vehicle has been sub-merged in water.

•  Fuel filter (gasoline engine): The fuel filter is considered to be maintenance free but periodic inspection is recommended for this maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality.
  • If there are some important safety matters like fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of power, hard starting problem etc, replace the fuel filter immediately regardless of maintenance schedule and consult an authorized Kia dealer for details.
