Additional Notes

  • The Kia Sedona GQ 3.5 (CAN) carries an automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 8.5 liters across both the 2002-2003 and 2004-2006 model years. A figure in that range is consistent with a full system fill, accounting for fluid held in the torque converter and valve body rather than the sump alone.
  • For the 2002-2003 Canadian Sedona 3.5, the normal-use check interval is set at 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. The change interval under the same normal-use condition is 22,500 miles or 18 months.
  • The 2004-2006 Canadian Sedona 3.5 carries a shorter check interval of 5,000 miles or 4 months under normal use, compared to the 7,500-mile or 6-month interval specified for the 2002-2003 model years.
  • The change interval also tightened between generations. The 2004-2006 Canadian Sedona 3.5 specifies a normal-use change at 20,000 miles or 16 months, versus the 22,500-mile or 18-month interval assigned to the 2002-2003 model years.
