Additional Notes

  • The brake fluid capacity for both the 3.5 V6 and 3.8 V6 variants is listed as a range of 0.7 to 0.8 liter, which reflects the typical variation seen when filling a hydraulic brake and ABS system to the correct level between the minimum and maximum reservoir marks.
  • The Kia Opirus / Amanti GH (EU) 3.5 V6, covering model years 2003-2008, shares an identical brake fluid capacity range and service schedule with the 3.8 V6 variant introduced from 2006.
  • A check interval of every 15,000 km or 12 months is specified for both engine variants under normal use conditions, meaning the brake fluid level and condition are to be inspected annually or at each standard service visit, whichever comes first.
  • The change interval is set at 30,000 km or 24 months for both variants under normal use, which is twice the duration of the check interval, placing a full fluid replacement on a two-year cycle regardless of mileage accumulation.
  • The 0.7-0.8 liter capacity figure applies to the hydraulic brake and clutch system combined with the ABS circuit, as noted in the specifications, meaning the total fluid volume accounts for all three interconnected hydraulic components.
