Additional Notes

  • The Kia Rondo RP 2.0 GDI (CAN) manual transaxle holds 1.9–2.0 liters of fluid, a capacity range that reflects typical fill tolerances for a compact front-wheel-drive transaxle rather than a precise single-volume figure.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 2013-2016 Rondo 2.0 GDI (CAN) manual transaxle specification calls for a fluid check at 37,500 miles or 30 months, with no fluid change interval listed for that condition.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 37,500-mile or 30-month check interval applies, and a fluid change is additionally specified at 75,000 miles, doubling the check interval before a full drain and refill is required.
  • The 1.9–2.0 liter capacity figure appears consistently across both the normal and severe use rows, indicating the transaxle fill volume does not differ between service condition classifications.
  • The 30-month time-based check interval runs alongside the 37,500-mile mileage interval under both use conditions, meaning whichever threshold is reached first would govern the service timing in practice.
