TypeSpecifications

  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Check 24000 km/ 12 months

Additional Notes

  • The Kia Spectra 1.8 power steering fluid specification calls for a level maintained between the minimum and maximum marks rather than a fixed volume, which is characteristic of a top-up or inspection service rather than a full drain-and-fill procedure.
  • Under normal use conditions, the Kia Spectra 1.8 power steering fluid check interval is set at 24,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first across the 2001-2004 model years.
  • The 12-month time-based interval running alongside the 24,000 km mileage interval means a vehicle driven infrequently would still require a fluid level inspection on an annual basis under normal use conditions.
