Additional Notes

  • The Kia Forte YD automatic transaxle holds 7.1 liters of fluid across all engine variants covered in the 2013-2016 specifications, including the 1.6 T-GDI, 1.8 MPI, and 2.0 GDI.
  • A 7.1-liter transaxle capacity is consistent with a full service fill figure, representing the total fluid volume the unit holds rather than a partial drain-and-refill quantity.
  • Under severe use conditions, a fluid change interval of 60,000 miles is specified for every engine variant in the lineup, from the 1.6 T-GDI through the 2.0 GDI.
  • No change interval is listed under normal use conditions for any of the covered configurations, meaning the 60,000-mile interval applies exclusively to severe use operation.
  • The 1.6 T-GDI engine appears in two distinct specification groupings: one covering 2013-2014 with a USA market designation, and a separate entry covering 2015-2016 without a market qualifier, while both share identical capacity and interval values.
  • The 1.8 MPI follows the same split across model years, with 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 each receiving their own specification rows, yet both reflect the same 7.1-liter capacity and 60,000-mile severe-use interval.
  • The 2.0 GDI is the only engine variant represented by a single continuous year range of 2013-2016, rather than being divided into two sub-period entries as seen with the 1.6 T-GDI and 1.8 MPI.
