recommended oil KIA STONIC 2018 Owners Manual

Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle in
another country, be sure to: • Observe all regulations regarding reg‐ istration and insurance.
• Determine that acceptable fuel is available.
Diesel engine
Diesel fuel
Diesel engine must be operated only on
commercially available diesel fuel that
complies with EN 590 or comparable standard. (EN stands for "European
Norm"). Do not use marine diesel fuel,
heating oils, or non-approved fuel addi‐ tives, as this will increase wear and
cause damage to the engine and fuel
system. The use of non-approved fuels and / or fuel additives will result in a
limitation of your warranty rights.
Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 is used in
your vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel
are available, use summer or winter fuel properly according to the following
temperature conditions. • Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
• Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type die‐ sel fuel. Watch the fuel level in the tank very
carefully : If the engine stops through
fuel failure, the circuits must be com‐
pletely purged to restart.
CAUTION
Do not let any gasoline or water en‐ter the tank. This would make it nec‐essary to drain it out and to bleedthe lines to avoid jamming the injec‐tion pump and damaging the engine.
CAUTION
nDiesel Fuel (if equipped withDPF)
It is recommended to use the regula‐ted automotive diesel fuel for dieselvehicle equipped with the DPF sys‐tem.If you use diesel fuel including highsulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur)and unspecified additives, it cancause the DPF system to be dam‐aged and white smoke can be emit‐ted.
Biodiesel
Commercially supplied Diesel blends of
no more than 7% biodiesel, commonly
known as "B7 Diesel" may be used in your vehicle if Biodiesel meets EN
14214 or equivalent specifications. (EN
stands for "European Norm"). The use of biofuels exceeding 7% made from
rapeseed methyl ester (RME), fatty
acid methyl ester (FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester (VME) etc. or mixing die‐
sel exceeding 7% with biodiesel will
cause increased wear or damage to the engine and fuel system. Repair or re‐
placement of worn or damaged compo‐
nents due to the use of non approved fuels will not be covered by the manu‐
factures warranty.
CAUTION
•Never use any fuel, whether dieselor B7 biodiesel or otherwise, thatfails to meet the latest petroleumindustry specification.
•Never use any fuel additives ortreatments that are not recom‐mended or approved by the vehiclemanufacturer.

Normal Maintenance Schedule - For Diesel Engine [For Europe (Except Russia)]
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.
NO.ITEMREMARK
*1 Engine oil and engine oil filter Check the engine oil level and leak every 500 km (350 miles) or before start‐ ing a long trip.
*2 Engine oil and engine oil filter (For
Diesel Engine) • If the recommended oil is not available, replace engine oil and engine oil fil‐
ter every 20,000 km or 12 months.
• The engine oil level should be checked regularly and maintained properly. Operating with an insufficient amount oil can damage the engine, and such
damage is not covered by warranty.
• This maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. It is applicable only when using a qualified fuel <"EN590 or equivalent">. If the diesel fuel speci‐
fications don't meet the EN590, it must be replaced according to the severe maintenance schedule.
*3 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.
*4 Drive belts (Engine) • Adjust alternator, water pump and air conditioner (if equipped) drive belt.
Inspect and if necessary repair or replace.
• Inspect drive belt tensioner, idler and alternator pulley and if necessary cor‐ rect or replace.
*5 Manual transaxle fluid Manual transaxle fluid should be changed anytime it has been submerged in

Maintenance

Fabric seat cover using precautions
(If equipped)
Please clean the fabric seats regularly
with a vacuum cleaner in consideration of fabric material characteristics. If
they are heavily soiled with beverage
stains, etc., use a suitable interior cleaner. To prevent damage to seat
covers, wipe off the seat covers down
to the seams with a large wiping mo‐ tion and moderate pressure using a
soft sponge or microfiber cloth. Velcro
closures on clothing or sharp objects may cause snagging or scratches on
the surface of the seats. Make sure not
to rub such objects against the surface.
Cleaning the upholstery and
interior trim
Vinyl
Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner. Clean vinyl surfaces with a vinyl clean‐
er.
Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner. Clean with a mild soap solution recom‐
mended for upholstery or carpets. Re‐
move fresh spots immediately with a fabric spot cleaner. If fresh spots do
not receive immediate attention, the
fabric can be stained and its color can be affected. Also, its fire-resistant
properties can be reduced if the mate‐
rial is not properly maintained.
CAUTION
Using anything but recommendedcleaners and procedures may affectthe fabric’s appearance and fire-re‐sistant properties.
Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt
webbing
Clean the belt webbing with any mild
soap solution recommended for clean‐ ing upholstery or carpet. Follow the in‐
structions provided with the soap. Do
not bleach or re-dye the webbing be‐ cause this may weaken it.
Cleaning the interior window glass
If the interior glass surfaces of the ve‐
hicle become fogged (that is, covered
with an oily, greasy or waxy film), they should be cleaned with glass cleaner.
Follow the directions on the glass
cleaner container.
CAUTION
Do not scrape or scratch the insideof the rear window. This may resultin damage to the rear window de‐froster grid.

Specifications & Consumer information

Recommended SAE viscosity number
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before checking or draining any lubricant.This is especially important in dusty or sandy areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug anddipstick areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that could be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather operating (engine start and engine oil flowabil‐
ity). Lower viscosity engine oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity en‐ gine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any viscosity other than those recommended
could result in engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be operated in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from the chart.
