Changing the engine oil – important procedure, which does not forgive mistakes. Let's look at it using a car as an example. Kia Rio, very popular in our country. Readers are presented with a lot useful information, which is sure to be valuable for both beginners and experienced owners Kia Ceed.
As is known, without qualified and timely service Any car will break down, and the frustrated owner will eventually sell it. First of all, it is necessary to pay Special attention car engine (in in this case Kia Ceed), since it is the “heart” of the car. The same applies to the choice and frequency of engine oil changes.
Kia has set the same oil change interval for all generations of Kia Ceed. So, it is once a year or every 15 thousand km. This is in theory, but in practice the situation may vary - take for example different conditions operation, climate change, quality road surface, driving style, etc. These factors determine how quickly the oil will be consumed. In this regard, some experienced owners themselves calculated the replacement interval. So, let's name the most suitable oil change intervals for the Kia Ceed:
- Every 15 thousand km – subject to compliance speed limit from 50 km/h and more
- Every 10 thousand km – subject to a speed limit of 30 km/h
- Every 7 thousand km – subject to a speed limit of less than 20 km/h
It turns out that the less average speed, the more often the need to change the oil arises
Approval and class
When choosing the right oil, all parameters must be taken into account; the appropriate class and approval must be selected. detailed information this is indicated in the Kia Ceed user manual.
To date, three generations of Kia Rio are known. There is a well-founded opinion that the newer the car, the more stringent the requirements for the quality of oil for it.
For example, for Kia Rio first generation, we can recommend oil with API classes SL, as well as ILSAC GF-3. In fact, now all commercially available oils comply with these classes. The main thing here is that this standard is not higher than the specified one, that is, a higher class.
For Kia Rio second generations oil will do with API standards SM and ILSAC GF-4. It often happens that the design of a car supports more high standard– for example, as in this case – API SN and ILSAC GF-5.
The third generation of Kia Rio is designed to support more modern oils with API SN and ILSAC GF-5 parameters.
As for additives, it is not recommended to add them to the oil, since truly quality oil there should be sufficient lubricating properties.
Viscosity
Modern power plants, which are equipped Kia cars Rio, have small gaps in piston group. In this regard, such engines require oil with a low viscosity to avoid “dry” friction and better remove heat from the heated components of the internal combustion engine. As a result, it turns out that with the release of more and more new generations of Kia Rio, the recommended viscosity index is gradually decreasing - if previously it was at the level of 40, now it is no more than 20. These parameters need to be given special attention, since engines with lower viscosity do not support oils with higher viscosity. IN as a last resort, failure to comply with the rules may lead to premature wear the most loaded engine parts due to their oil starvation.
How much oil to fill in Kia Rio
Let's pay attention to the volume of oil to be filled for a specific Kia Rio engine:
- Diesel 1.1 75 l. With. (production started in 2011). Required volume – 4.8 liters
- Petrol 1.2 87 l. With. (Since 2011). Volume – 3.3 liters
- Petrol 1.3 75-82 l. With. (2000) – 3.4 liters
- Petrol 1.4 97 l. With. (2005). 3.3 liters

Often, when purchasing motor oil, car enthusiasts pay attention to basic basis liquids: synthetic, semi-synthetic, mineral. At the same time, they do not pay attention to the class, type, and viscosity of the motor oil. Such actions may lead to premature exit power unit out of service. It would be right to buy lubricant specified in the car manual. In this article we will look at the recommended engine oil for KIA RIO in accordance with the operating instructions.
When selecting engine oil for a specific car model, engineers at the car manufacturer take into account technical specifications motor and the operating conditions under which it will operate. Carrying out appropriate tests for various lubricants on a specific engine, allows you to select the optimal motor oil, which helps reduce fuel consumption and extend the life of the power unit. Based on the test results, the car manufacturer includes the recommended engine oil for KIA RIO in the vehicle’s operating instructions. The manual indicates the viscosity characteristics and compliance of the lubricant with the requirements of the API, ILSAC, ACEA systems.
When selecting a lubricant for the Kia Rio, take into account the season outside the car. Motor oils designed for winter are more fluid than liquids designed for summer. You can buy all-season lubricating fluid. It is also worth familiarizing yourself with the tolerances on the motor oil canister. The presence of approvals from the manufacturer of a specific car model indicates that the oil meets the requirements of the car manufacturer.
KIA RIO JB 2005-2011
- For gasoline engines:
- API quality class -SM or higher; in the absence of the specified motor oil, SL fluids can be used;
- according to the ILSAC standard - GF-4.
- In diesel power units:
- according to API specifications- CH-4 or higher;
- in accordance with ACEA system- B4.
According to Table 1, select a lubricant suitable for viscosity characteristics, considering temperature regime overboard the car.
Table 1. Viscosity depending on the temperature range.
*1 - achieve savings fuel mixture allows the use of motor oils that meet the following parameters:
- according to SAE 5W-20;
- By API system- SM;
- in accordance with ILSAC - GF-4.
From Table 1 it follows, for example, in the temperature range from -30 0 C (or less) to +50 0 C (or more) for gasoline engines, use 5W-20 or 5W-30 fluids. For diesel units It is recommended to use 15W-40 at temperatures from -17 0 C to +50 0 C (or more). Temperature Range for other types of lubricant it is calculated similarly.
KIA RIO QB 2011-2014 and KIA RIO QB FL 2015-2017
Based on the operating instructions for the machine, for 1.4 l and 1.6 l engines running on gasoline you need to use motor fluids, corresponding to the characteristics:
- according to API classifications-SM or more, if not available specified oil SL liquids can be used;
- according to the ILSAC standard - GF-4 or higher.
The requirements for the viscosity characteristics of the oil are similar to KIA RIO JB 2005-2011, so the required lubricant can be selected from Table 1.
An oil with the following characteristics helps reduce fuel consumption:
- according to SAE 5W-20;
- in accordance with API - SM;
- according to ILSAC standards - GF-4.
Conclusion
Lubricants have different fluidity and chemical composition additives Therefore, it is better to use the recommended engine oil for KIA RIO. Filling with an oil that does not meet the parameters reduces the performance of the engine and increases fuel consumption. If the lubricant is too thick or thin, this will lead to deterioration in the protection of the power unit and its premature wear. Preferably pour original oils, in their absence, it is permissible to use liquids that meet all the characteristics set out in the car manual.
What kind of oil to fill in a KIA Rio, taking into account the fact that the motor oil market in Russia is extremely saturated and can offer even the most demanding motorist wide choose from domestic and global brands is a complex question. The cost, as well as the quality of the petroleum products themselves, can be completely different and depend only on the needs and thickness of the wallet of the domestic buyer. At the same time, a large assortment similar product almost always means the agony of choice and a difficult path to the store checkout.
Viscosity is the main indicator
About the oil in the engine " iron horse“needs to be changed periodically, as any driver knows. Some car owners believe that oil changes for cars operated in Russia must be seasonal - twice a year. This point of view is, in principle, correct and does not conflict with the main requirement technical regulations car maintenance - mandatory oil change after a certain mileage. It is not forbidden to change it more often, but performing such an operation more rarely can lead to troubles with the engine of your favorite car.
It should be noted that at all KIA modifications Rio releases from 2011 to 2015 inclusive have fairly reliable engines installed that meet all modern requirements. At the same time, when deciding what kind of oil to fill in this car, you must first of all be guided by this important characteristic, as its viscosity.
Viscosity - main characteristic Essentially, the viscosity of a motor oil determines how much it flows, and right choice will help save engine parts and components from wear earlier due date.
Motor oil with a similar viscosity will reliably protect the car engine under heavy loads without reducing its basic characteristics and will significantly extend its life.
Criterias of choice
Majority KIA owners Rio prefers to use motor oil foreign manufacturers. Such a choice is associated with the mandatory compliance of the imported product with high international standards, unsurpassed quality and recommendations from global automakers.
However, it should be noted that the high retail price of imported oil does not in any way exclude the purchase of counterfeit petroleum products in branded packaging. Unfortunately, in Russia, counterfeit motor oil is worldwide famous manufacturers has always been the case and this year is no exception. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid spontaneous purchases in dubious places from unknown sellers.
It's interesting that many Russian manufacturers have improved noticeably lately quality characteristics of their motor oil and currently represent serious competition to imported brands. Besides, domestic oil usually compares favorably in price, which is important in our severe times of crisis. Thus, which oil is best to fill in a KIA Rio, each owner decides for himself based on his personal preferences and financial opportunities.
Ultimately, the choice of manufacturer is not essential; the main thing is to promptly and correctly change the engine oil in your car’s engine.
For KIA Rio, engine oil changes are carried out periodically after a mileage of 10 thousand kilometers. The approximate volume of oil to be changed in the engine is approximately three liters.
Timely shift engine oil can be carried out at a specialized car service center or, if there is the desire and time, it can be done independently by the car owner.
What oil is best to put in KIA engine Rio - it's up to you
Do-it-yourself oil change
This operation is not particularly difficult and, with proper preparation, will not take much time. To change the oil in a KIA Rio engine, you must have a garage inspection pit or overpass on open area. The procedure consists of two stages - draining used oil from the engine and adding fresh oil. Must be taken into account important point– most often, draining is done from a hot engine and protect yourself as much as possible from the ingress of oil products. Materials and tools required for the event:
- Rags for removing smudges;
- Gloves or mittens to protect hands;
- Bucket or container for draining the used product;
- Oil filter removal wrench;
- A key for unscrewing the pan plug.
After carefully unscrewing the pan plug, you need to completely drain the used oil from the engine into a bucket or other suitable container. Then unscrew the old one oil filter and install a new one. After this, you need to screw the pan plug into its original place and fill fresh oil into the car engine to the corresponding mark on the dipstick. If there is a leak at the drain plug of the pan, the gasket must be replaced.
Timely replacement engine oil in the KIA Rio engine will ensure proper operation of all engine components and assemblies and will protect against overheating in case of increased loads and will ensure its trouble-free operation for a long time.

Change the engine oil on your car KIA Rio possible at the station Maintenance(STO) or independently. This procedure is described in some detail in the car manual, and is not particularly difficult. Considering the prices at service stations, it is best to change the oil yourself. This will significantly save the family budget.
Usually, Do-it-yourself engine oil change for Kia Rio 2011–2017, is no different from the procedure carried out at the service station. The recommended interval for changing engine oil for the Kia Rio is 15,000 km. But in practice, it is better to replace it after 7,000–10,000 km. This is not surprising if you take into account the condition of the roads and the urban speed of the car with frequent stops. All these circumstances lead to a rapid deterioration in the quality of motor oil. First of all, the lubricating and cleaning properties of the oil deteriorate, which greatly increases engine wear and reduces its service life. At the same time as changing the engine oil, do not forget to replace the oil filter. The oil and filter are always changed at the same time on any car.
In practice, changing the oil on a KIA Rio yourself can be done in two ways:
— Vacuum oil pumping. Vacuum pumping, as a rule, is done through the hole for the engine oil level dipstick. This method is good because there is no need for a lift or overpass. The main disadvantage is the need to use special equipment, which is not available in every service station.
— Drain from the car pan. The second, traditional and decades-tested method is more reliable, since all waste accumulates in the engine sump. Vacuum pumping is simply not capable of pumping out all the used oil from the sump.
To change the oil we will need:
- Oil filter - 26300-35503.
- Engine oil is usually official dealer fill in a barrel of SHELL HELIX ULTRA 5w-30, it is recommended by the KIA plant. But you can also buy it in a regular four-liter canister. When choosing an oil, it is worth considering what is indicated in the warranty: oil 5W-30 class SN or SM ( SN is better, since it is a more modern standard).
- Engine oil pan drain plug gasket - 21513-23001
- Key "17" for twisting the drain plug.
- Flushing oil 3 liters.
Change of oil.
The replacement process is carried out on a warm engine; heated oil is more fluid and easily drains from the lubrication system.
— After warming up the engine for ten minutes, you need to drive inspection hole. If necessary, this is not difficult to do; just unscrew a few mounting bolts. will interfere with us when replacing the oil filter. With a certain level of skill, you can not remove the protection completely, but only unscrew the two bolts securing it to the subframe.
— Then you need to drain the used oil from the crankcase into a container specially prepared for this purpose. The crankcase plug must be unscrewed very carefully, since the oil is very hot, it is better to use gloves and goggles.
— After the oil has drained, the plug can go in two ways, replace it using flushing oil and without it:
- With flushing oil. Twist drain plug having first replaced the drain plug gasket, and fill in about 3 liters of flushing oil. Let the engine run for about 10 minutes and drain the oil again. (There is a way to remove the remaining flushing oil by repeating the flushing procedure only using 2-2.5 liters of oil, which you will fill during replacement.).
- No flushing oil. With this option, we remove the remaining waste oil from the crankcase; for this we use a syringe with a curved needle.
The question of using flushing oil arises in cases where it is not known which oil was filled in previously or when a changeover to another type of oil is being made. In other cases, you can do without using it. Modern motor oils already have detergent and cleansing properties in required volume to clean the engine lubrication system.
— Now you can twist the oil filter for replacement. As a rule, this can be done by hand without using a special tool. Before installing a new filter, you should pour 150-200 ml of oil into it. Then carefully screw on the new oil filter by hand. There is enough hand strength to tighten the filter, this will allow you to next replacement it is easy to twist by hand.
If you can’t remove the filter by hand, it doesn’t matter special tool or the old grandfather's way. It’s simple, take a thicker screwdriver and a hammer, pierce the filter through with a screwdriver and use this lever to unscrew it.
— After completing all the procedures, use a key set to “17” to tighten the drain plug, having first replaced the gasket.
