Additional Notes
- The Kia Cadenza VG (EU) 3.5 carries a cooling system capacity of 8.4 liters across all model years from 2011 to 2016, indicating a consistent engine cooling volume regardless of the production period.
- For the 2011-2013 Cadenza 3.5 under normal use conditions, coolant replacement is scheduled at 40,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first.
- The 2014-2016 Cadenza 3.5 under normal use conditions carries a notably shorter change interval of 30,000 km or 24 months, alongside a check interval set at the same 30,000 km or 24-month mark.
- Under initial service conditions for the 2011-2013 Cadenza 3.5, the first coolant check is due at 30,000 km or 24 months, while the first full change is deferred significantly to 210,000 km or 120 months. A 120-month interval corresponds to a 10-year service life for the initial factory-fill coolant.
- The 2014-2016 Cadenza 3.5 under initial service conditions pushes the first check interval out to 60,000 km or 48 months, which is double the check interval specified for the 2011-2013 model under the same use condition.
- Both the 2011-2013 and 2014-2016 Cadenza 3.5 share an identical initial service change interval of 210,000 km or 120 months, suggesting the factory-fill coolant specification remained unchanged between the two production periods despite differences in normal-use intervals.
