Additional Notes

  • The Kia Rondo RP 2.0 GDI (CAN) carries a brake fluid capacity of 0.7–0.8 liter for the hydraulic brake system, which is a typical reservoir fill volume rather than a full system overhaul quantity.
  • The 0.7–0.8 liter range reflects the normal variation between a low and high reservoir mark, meaning a service fill stays within that window rather than targeting a fixed single value.
  • Across both the 2013-2016 and 2017-2018 model year groups, the brake fluid capacity specification of 0.7–0.8 liter remains unchanged, indicating no revision to the hydraulic system volume between those periods.
  • The service interval for the hydraulic brake system is listed as a check at every 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
  • A 24-month time-based interval runs alongside the mileage interval, which reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid — the fluid absorbs moisture over time regardless of distance driven, making calendar-based checks relevant even for low-mileage vehicles.
  • Both the 2013-2016 and 2017-2018 configurations share the same 30,000-mile/24-month check interval, with no differentiation in service frequency between the two model year groups.
