Additional Notes

  • The Kia Telluride 3.8 GDI AWD automatic transaxle holds 7 liters of fluid across all listed configurations, a figure that reflects a full service fill for the transmission assembly.
  • Under severe use conditions, a 60,000-mile change interval applies to the 3.8 GDI AWD automatic transaxle across the 2019-2022 model years.
  • The 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 3.8 GDI AWD configurations each carry a normal use entry alongside the severe use entry, while the 2021-2022 and 2022 configurations list only a severe use interval without a corresponding normal use capacity row.
  • The 7-liter transaxle capacity remains consistent whether the applicable model year range begins at 2019 or at 2022, indicating no capacity revision occurred across the covered period.
  • A severe use designation, as applied here to the 60,000-mile interval, typically corresponds to operating conditions such as frequent towing, stop-and-go traffic, or extreme temperature exposure, all of which accelerate fluid degradation relative to normal use.
