Kia Picanto, SA (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Kia Picanto, SA (EU) uses automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 5,2 to 6,1 liters. Service intervals consist of checks every 15000 km or 12 months and changes every 90000 km or 72 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Kia Picanto SA (EU) 1.1 produced from 2007-2011 carries an automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 6.1 liters, which is notably higher than the 5.2-liter capacity specified for the 2004-2007 variant of the same engine displacement.
  • A capacity figure of 5.2 or 6.1 liters for an automatic transaxle typically reflects a full service fill, meaning the total volume the unit holds when drained and refilled under normal service conditions, rather than a partial drain figure.
  • Both the 2004-2007 and 2007-2011 1.1 configurations share an identical check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
  • The fluid change interval for both configurations is set at 90,000 km or 72 months under normal use, placing the scheduled replacement at a relatively long cycle relative to the check interval.
  • The 72-month change interval equals six years of calendar-based service, meaning time elapsed can trigger a fluid change before the 90,000 km mileage threshold is reached in lower-mileage usage patterns.
  • Both rows are specified under normal use conditions, meaning the intervals and capacities listed apply to standard operating environments rather than severe or demanding duty cycles.
