Additional Notes

  • The Kia Cadenza VG (EU) with the 3.5-liter engine carries an automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 7.8 liters across all listed model years from 2011 to 2016, with no variation between the two generation spans covered in the specifications.
  • A 7.8-liter figure for an automatic transaxle represents a service fill volume, meaning the amount of fluid used during a standard drain-and-refill procedure rather than a complete overhaul, which would typically require a higher total system volume.
  • For the 3.5-liter engine in the 2011-2013 production span, a severe-use condition ties to a fluid change interval of 100,000 km, while no change interval is listed under the normal-use condition for the same period.
  • For the 3.5-liter engine in the 2014-2016 production span, the severe-use change interval is specified at 90,000 km, which is 10,000 km shorter than the 100,000 km interval assigned to the earlier 2011-2013 span under the same severe-use condition.
  • Severe use in the context of automatic transmission service generally refers to operating conditions such as frequent towing, stop-and-go traffic, or extreme temperatures, all of which accelerate fluid degradation and justify a shorter change interval compared to normal use.
