Additional Notes

  • The Kia Rio 1.6 automatic transaxle carries a fluid capacity of 6.7 liters across the 2017-2019 model years, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul capacity, as service fills account for residual fluid retained in the torque converter and valve body during a drain-and-refill procedure.
  • The 60,000-mile change interval listed for 2017-2018 applies specifically under severe use conditions, meaning the interval is shorter than what a normal-use schedule would typically require, reflecting the added thermal and mechanical stress associated with severe driving patterns.
  • The 2019 model year carries the same 6.7-liter capacity and 60,000-mile severe-use change interval as the 2017-2018 configuration, indicating no revision to the automatic transaxle fluid specification between those model years.
