Additional Notes

  • The Kia Sedona GQ 3.5 (CAN) power steering fluid level is maintained between the reservoir's minimum and maximum marks rather than filled to a fixed volume, which is characteristic of a top-up or level-check service rather than a measured fluid exchange.
  • For the 2002-2003 Canadian Sedona 3.5, the power steering fluid check interval is set at every 15,000 miles or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The 2004-2006 Canadian Sedona 3.5 carries a shorter check interval of 10,000 miles or 8 months under normal use conditions, compared to the 15,000-mile/12-month schedule applied to the 2002-2003 model years.
  • Both interval schedules are designated for normal use conditions, meaning neither configuration carries a separate severe-use interval within the specifications for power steering fluid.
  • The shift from a 15,000-mile to a 10,000-mile check interval between the 2002-2003 and 2004-2006 model years represents a reduction of one-third in the mileage threshold, with a corresponding reduction from 12 months to 8 months in the time-based interval.
