Additional Notes

  • The Kia Rio UB (EU) automatic transaxle capacity differs between engine variants, with the 1.4 CVVT holding 6.8 liters and the 1.6 CVVT holding 7.3 liters across the 2011-2014 model years.
  • The 0.5-liter difference between the 1.4 and 1.6 CVVT transaxle capacities reflects the larger fluid volume required to service the bigger displacement engine's transmission assembly.
  • For the 1.4 CVVT covering 2011-2014, the severe use condition pairs a 60,000 km check interval with a 100,000 km change interval, both applied to the 6.8-liter transaxle fill.
  • The 1.4 CVVT 2011-2014 also carries a filled-for-life designation, under which the 6.8-liter transaxle requires only a check at 60,000 km with no scheduled fluid change listed.
  • For the 1.6 CVVT 2011-2014 under severe use, the 7.3-liter transaxle is subject to a 60,000 km check and a 100,000 km change interval, mirroring the structure applied to the smaller engine variant.
  • The 1.6 CVVT 2011-2014 filled-for-life specification also calls for a 60,000 km check on the 7.3-liter transaxle, with no fluid change interval assigned under that condition.
  • In the 2015-2017 1.4 CVVT, the normal use condition introduces a time-based dimension, requiring a check at either 48 months or 60,000 km on the 6.8-liter transaxle, whichever comes first.
  • Under severe use for the 2015-2017 1.4 CVVT, the check interval remains at 60,000 km or 48 months, while the change interval is set at 90,000 km, which is 10,000 km shorter than the 100,000 km change interval specified for the same engine in 2011-2014.
