Additional Notes
- All three engine variants in the Kia Optima TF (EU) lineup carry a power steering fluid capacity of 0.9 liter, a figure typical of a hydraulic rack-and-pinion system service fill rather than a full overhaul volume.
- The 2.0 CVVL covers the widest model year span among the listed configurations, running from 2011-2016, while the 2.0 CVVT Hybrid and 2.4 MPI both begin from 2012-2016.
- A check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, applies to all three configurations under normal use conditions, meaning routine driving without the added stress of towing, extreme temperatures, or frequent short trips.
- The 0.9 liter capacity figure is consistent across the 2.0 CVVL, 2.0 CVVT Hybrid, and 2.4 MPI variants, indicating no engine-size-related variation in the hydraulic power steering reservoir volume for the TF platform.
- The 2.0 CVVT Hybrid shares the same 0.9 liter capacity and 15,000 km/12-month check schedule as the conventional petrol engines, reflecting that a conventional hydraulic power steering system is present rather than an electric or electro-hydraulic alternative.
