Additional Notes

  • The Kia Sedona YP 3.3 automatic transaxle carries a fluid capacity of 7.8 liters for the 2014-2018 model years, which represents a total system fill volume rather than a partial drain-and-fill service quantity.
  • Starting with the 2019-2020 model years, the 3.3 automatic transaxle capacity drops to 7 liters, a reduction of 0.8 liters compared to the 2014-2018 specification.
  • The 2020-2021 3.3 configuration shares the same 7-liter transaxle capacity as the 2019-2020 specification, meaning the 7-liter figure applies across all model years from 2019 onward in the available data.
  • Across all three configurations, a fluid change interval of 60,000 miles is specified exclusively under severe use conditions. No change interval appears under normal use conditions for any of the listed model years.
  • The absence of a change interval under normal use conditions across all configurations means the 60,000-mile figure is strictly a severe-service specification, not a general maintenance benchmark.
  • Severe use conditions typically refer to operation involving frequent towing, stop-and-go traffic, extreme temperatures, or other high-stress driving patterns that accelerate fluid degradation, which is the context in which the 60,000-mile interval applies here.
  • The 2014-2018 severe-use specification pairs the 60,000-mile change interval with a 7.8-liter capacity, while the 2019-2021 severe-use specification pairs the same 60,000-mile interval with the reduced 7-liter capacity.
