Additional Notes

  • The Kia Seltos SP2 1.6 T-GDI AWD carries two distinct automatic transmission fluid capacity figures depending on the transmission type. The semi-automatic transaxle holds 1.6-1.7 liters, while the automatic transmission holds 6.5 liters. A capacity of 6.5 liters is consistent with a full fluid fill of a conventional automatic transmission, whereas the smaller 1.6-1.7 liter figure reflects the limited fluid volume typical of a semi-automatic transaxle unit.
  • The 1.6-1.7 liter capacity range on the semi-automatic transaxle applies across the 2020-2023 model years covered by those configurations. A range rather than a fixed value is common when a specification accounts for minor variation between drain-and-fill procedures.
  • For the semi-automatic transaxle on 2020-2022 models, a fluid check is specified at 40,000 miles or 48 months under normal use conditions, with no fluid change interval listed for normal use.
  • Under severe use conditions, the semi-automatic transaxle on 2020-2022 models shares the same 40,000-mile or 48-month check interval as normal use, but adds a fluid change at 80,000 miles. The change interval applies only under severe conditions.
  • The 2022-2023 semi-automatic transaxle configuration carries identical capacity and interval specifications to the 2020-2022 configuration, including the 40,000-mile or 48-month check and the 80,000-mile change under severe use.
  • The 2023 automatic transmission configuration specifies a fluid change at 56,000 miles under severe use conditions. No check-only interval is listed for that configuration, distinguishing it from the semi-automatic transaxle entries where a check interval is separately defined.
  • A 2022 model year appears in both the 2020-2022 and 2022-2023 semi-automatic transaxle configurations, indicating an overlap year where both specification sets apply depending on the specific production variant.
