Additional Notes

  • The Kia Cerato / Forte TD (EU) automatic transaxle capacities fall between 6.6 and 7.3 liters across all engine and model year combinations, which are typical total fill figures representing the full fluid volume held within the transmission assembly, including the torque converter.
  • The 1.6-liter engine saw a capacity increase from 6.8 liters in 2009-2010 to 7.3 liters in 2011-2013, indicating a transaxle unit change between those production periods.
  • A similar increase occurred in the 2.0-liter engine, where the automatic transaxle capacity rose from 6.6 liters in 2009-2010 to 7.1 liters in 2011-2013.
  • Across all configurations, the 2.0-liter transaxle holds slightly less fluid than the 1.6-liter transaxle within the same model year group, with a 0.2-liter difference in 2009-2010 and a 0.2-liter difference again in 2011-2013.
  • Under normal use conditions, the service interval for all configurations is a fluid check at 48 months or 60,000 km, whichever comes first, rather than a full fluid change.
  • Under severe use conditions, all configurations specify a fluid change at 90,000 km, which is a more demanding maintenance action than the check interval applied under normal conditions.
  • The distinction between a fluid check under normal conditions and a fluid change under severe conditions reflects a meaningful difference in service scope, with severe operation placing greater thermal and mechanical stress on the transmission fluid over time.
