Kia Magentis / Optima, MS/MG (EU)

Additional Notes

• Across all five configurations of the Kia Magentis / Optima MS/MG (EU) covered here — spanning the 2.0, 2.0 CRDi VGT DPF, 2.0 CVVT, 2.5 V6, and 2.7 V6 — the power steering fluid capacity is uniformly listed at 0.8 liter.
• A capacity figure of 0.8 liter for a power steering reservoir is consistent with a service fill or top-up specification, representing the fluid volume held within the system's reservoir and circuit rather than a larger overhaul quantity.
• The 2.0 (2001-2006), 2.0 CRDi VGT DPF (2006-2010), 2.0 CVVT (2006-2010), and 2.5 V6 (2001-2006) configurations all carry a check interval of every 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
• A 15,000 km or 12-month check interval is a periodic inspection schedule rather than a full fluid replacement interval, meaning the fluid level and condition are assessed at each occurrence rather than the fluid being mandatorily exchanged.
• The normal use condition tied to the 15,000 km / 12-month check interval applies to all four configurations that list an interval, indicating the schedule is not adjusted for severe operating conditions in the available specifications.
• The 2.7 V6 (2006-2010) shares the 0.8-liter capacity with the other configurations but has no check interval listed in the specifications, making the capacity figure the sole service data point recorded for that engine variant.
• The 2.5 V6 covers the 2001-2006 period while the 2.7 V6 covers 2006-2010, indicating a displacement increase in the V6 lineup at the 2006 model year boundary, yet both share the identical 0.8-liter power steering fluid capacity.
• The 2.0 CRDi VGT DPF variant is the only diesel engine among the five configurations, and despite the mechanical differences a diesel powertrain introduces, the power steering fluid capacity and check interval remain identical to the petrol-engined 2.0 CVVT of the same 2006-2010 period.
