Additional Notes

  • The Kia Rio UB 1.6 automatic transaxle carries a fluid capacity of 7.3 liters across both the 2011-2015 and 2015-2017 configurations, a volume consistent with a full system fill rather than a partial drain-and-refill service.
  • Under severe use conditions, both the 2011-2015 and 2015-2017 Rio 1.6 automatic transaxle specifications call for a fluid change interval of 60,000 miles.
  • The severe-use interval of 60,000 miles applies alongside the same 7.3-liter capacity figure, meaning the full system volume is the reference point for fluid replacement under those conditions.
  • No change interval is listed under normal use conditions for either configuration, while the severe-use rows carry the 60,000-mile interval as the only stated service mileage figure in the specifications.
