Additional Notes

  • The Kia Quoris KH (EU) automatic transaxle holds 9.6 liters of fluid across all three available engine variants: the 3.8 GDI, the 3.8 MPI, and the 5.0 V8.
  • A 9.6-liter transaxle capacity is a notably large fill volume, consistent with a full-size luxury rear-wheel-drive platform where the transmission and final drive share a common housing.
  • The 3.8 MPI variant carries a model year range starting from 2013, while both the 3.8 GDI and the 5.0 V8 variants begin from 2014, all running through 2018.
  • Under normal use conditions, no fluid change interval is listed for any of the three engine variants, meaning only the fluid capacity figure appears in the normal-use specification rows.
  • Under severe use conditions, all three engine variants share an identical fluid change interval of 100,000 km, paired with the same 9.6-liter capacity.
  • The fact that a change interval is tied exclusively to severe use conditions across the 3.8 GDI, 3.8 MPI, and 5.0 V8 specifications reflects a service schedule where driving demands directly determine when the automatic transmission fluid requires replacement.
  • The capacity figure of 9.6 liters remains constant regardless of whether the use condition is normal or severe, indicating the fill volume is a fixed mechanical property of the transaxle rather than a variable tied to service type.
