Additional Notes

  • The Kia Sedona 3.5 (CAN) carries a brake fluid capacity of 1.3 liters across both the 2002-2003 and 2004-2006 model year ranges, which is consistent with a full hydraulic brake system fill volume rather than a partial top-up quantity.
  • For the 2002-2003 model years, the check interval is set at 7,500 miles or 6 months under normal use conditions, meaning the hydraulic brake system is inspected at a relatively longer interval compared to the later production range.
  • The 2004-2006 model years carry a shorter check interval of 5,000 miles or 4 months under normal use conditions, representing a more frequent inspection schedule than the 2002-2003 specification.
  • The change interval for the 2002-2003 range is 37,500 miles or 30 months under normal use conditions, while the 2004-2006 range specifies 40,000 miles or 32 months, indicating a longer drain period in the revised schedule.
  • Both the mileage and time-based change intervals increased between the two specification periods, with the 2004-2006 range allowing an additional 2,500 miles and 2 months before a fluid change is due under normal use conditions.
