Additional Notes
- The manual transmission fluid capacity for the Kia Besta (EU) 2.2 D is 2.2 liters, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul, which would typically require a higher volume to account for residual fluid in disassembled components.
- The 20,000 km change interval applies under normal use conditions, meaning routine driving without the added mechanical stress associated with severe service classifications such as frequent towing, off-road operation, or extreme temperature exposure.
- A check interval of every 7,500 km or 6 months is specified alongside the longer change interval, indicating that fluid level and condition monitoring is expected more frequently than full replacement across the 1995-1997 model years.
- The dual-format check interval, expressed in both distance and time, means whichever threshold is reached first would govern when a fluid level inspection is due, a common approach for vehicles that may accumulate mileage at varying rates.
