Why is oil needed in the power unit of a KIA LED car? What role does it play?

Advanced motorists know for sure that there is oil in the power unit of a car. It needs to be changed periodically! What for? The fact is that the oil poured into the unit carries out a number of important functions due to its special properties. After a certain period of time, its characteristics come to naught, worsen. So it's time to replace it.

So what are the functional tasks assigned to engine oil?

• Protection of the power unit from overheating
• Engine protection against wear and corrosion
• Friction reduction
• Removal of small particles of wear products of the power unit, including combustion products

Oil classification

Today, the automotive market is simply "teeming" with various fuels and lubricants, including motor oils. How to understand the intricacies of labeling? How to translate it into simple human language? Knowledge of the classification allows you to accurately select the right "blood" for the "heart" of the car!

All oils are divided into three categories (3 types)

• Synthetics
• Semi-synthetics
• mineral oils

Lubricants will be divided according to the type of power unit

• For petrol engines
• Units consuming diesel
• Separately, there are oils that are poured into turbocharged engines

Viscosity

These are viscosity-temperature characteristics. Simply put, these are the set parameters for the high-quality operation of the engine. The determination of the viscosity of many motorists is stupor. This value largely affects the choice of oil. It is recommended to buy exactly the oil that is indicated by the manufacturer. In extreme cases, consultations at the service station will not interfere.

Price

Not unimportant, sometimes a decisive factor when choosing an oil. The buyer has three options:

• Buy oil on the market.

The money savings are significant. There is a proportional risk of buying a fake! You decide what is more important to you. Instant savings, or maybe you have extra money for unscheduled engine repairs?

• Buy at the service station.

Expensive. Big twists. But the risk that you are "sucked in" by a fake is reduced!

• As an intermediate option (many motorists are inclined to it) - buying in specialized stores. And the price is lower than at the service station, and the probability of acquiring a fake is much lower than at the car market!

What to fill in KIA LED and how much?

Which engine oil is suitable for Kia Sid? What exactly to fill in your favorite car is up to you. Don't forget to check the service book before doing this! It indicates which oil is RECOMMENDED! It is also a question of the PREDICTIVITY of such a replacement (after how many kilometers traveled to change).

For cars manufactured before 2008, 5w30 synthetics are suitable. The filling volume is 3 liters. Vehicles produced after 2009 will require 5.9 liters when replacing. All the same synthetics 5w30.

Description of 5w30 oil

GM Super Synthetic Longlife 5W-30- high-quality synthetic engine oil, used for power units. Feature: all season. Recommended to use:

In engines running on gasoline and diesel power units.

This is a long life oil. Good viscosity allows the power unit to work stably at elevated temperatures. Protects the unit from precipitation, premature wear, oxidation of rubbing surfaces. Keeps the power unit in perfect condition (cleanliness), including at high temperatures.

Cold starts (starting the unit) are easy, without failures due to the low viscosity of the oil. Increases the performance of the catalytic converter, reducing harmful emissions into the atmosphere. Caring for the environment is a must for milestones.

Change your oil on time! Take care of the "heart of the car"!

If “due to your forgetfulness” you were unable to change the oil on time, and the “lag” from the planned replacement does not exceed 1-2 thousand km of the car’s run, there is nothing to worry about. Things are much worse if the lag schedule is in the region of 5000 km! Such "forgetfulness" can lead to undesirable serious consequences.

Here is a table (as an example), with which it is easier to choose oils for an engine based on viscosity for operation in various temperature conditions. It all depends on the temperature of the region where the KIA LED car is operated.

How to change the oil and oil filter in a KIA ceed engine? We will consider this issue another time. I would like to say that when working with any oils, you must follow the elementary safety rules. After all, fuels and lubricants belong to a high-risk group. In an article on changing the oil and oil filter on a KIA LED car, we will dwell on the issue of safety in more detail. Let's talk on the topic: change the oil yourself "for free" or entrust such work to service station specialists for "their hard-earned money". We will tell you in detail how to change the oil yourself.

We wish quiet operation to your engine for many years the "heart" of the car. Take care of him. Do not bring to a car heart attack.

Kia Ceed is one of the most popular hatchbacks in Russia. The machine is in high demand due to its quality and reliability. The machine is undemanding to maintain, but only if you follow the manufacturer's recommendations - for example, fill in only the recommended engine oil. In this article, we will consider the types and classes of motor oils for Kia Rio, and also name the best lubricant manufacturers.

Nuances of choice

Recommended engine oil parameters are usually listed in the Kia Ceed user manual. In this case, in addition to the parameters, the manufacturer also indicates the seasonality of the liquids - for example, some oils are suitable for the summer season, while others can be used regardless of the season and climate. Each type of lubricant has its own characteristics and a certain chemical base.

When choosing one or another oil, first of all, one should pay attention not to the brand, but to the basic basis and support for ambient temperatures in which Kia Ceed will be operated. So, for too hot regions, excessive loads and an active driving style, synthetic or semi-synthetic oil is ideal. As for old worn out engines with high mileage, mineral oil would be preferable for them.
You should also take into account the availability of permission. The tolerance allows you to determine how high-quality and useful the oil will be for a particular brand of car.

Consider the choice of oil separately for each generation of Kia Ceed

Production of the Kia Sid lineup began in 2006. In the fall of 2006, a middle-class car was first shown at an exhibition in Paris, after which its mass production began. For 11 years, the model has undergone several updates and is now being produced in the second generation. Ceed replaced the outdated Cerato and was originally developed to conquer the European market in the golf segment. The novelty quickly became on a par with competitors - Volkswagen Golf, Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.

In the first generation, the model was equipped with gasoline and diesel engines of different capacities. The first consisted of units with a working volume of 1.4, 1.6 and 2.0 liters (90/110, 122/126 and 143 hp). Diesel modifications included 1.6 and 2.0 liter turbodiesel units (90-140 hp). The listed engines worked either with a manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic. Information on oil consumption and which one to pour is indicated below. As for the consumption of gasoline, the Kia Ceed requires about 6 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers in the combined cycle. In 2009, the model underwent a cosmetic restyling, during which the car received a new look, emphasizing the corporate style, and a redesigned interior.

The second generation debuted in 2012 and Kia Sid again underwent external changes. Now the car has a pronounced sporty style. The engines have become a little more economical, and the car itself is more stable on the road. Russian deliveries included a 1.6-liter modification with a 129 hp engine. The atmospheric installation was paired with a 6-speed MT or AT. In terms of dynamics: the first 100 km / h was achieved in 10.5 seconds on the mechanics and 11.5 - on the machine. In 2013, a more charged version with 204 hp became available, delivering the first hundred in just 7.6 seconds. Fuel consumption for such a LED is up to 7.8 liters in the combined cycle.

What kind of oil to fill in Kia seed will acquaint you with the manufacturer's recommendations and useful tips. To service a vehicle
Before carrying out scheduled maintenance, owners often wonder what kind of oil to fill in the kia ceed engine and gearbox.

The answer is obvious, and is indicated in the service book. Some owners either do not have a service book, or people want to switch to another lubricant that can provide stable performance and protection of the power unit.

Before buying, you need to make sure in advance that the selected oil is suitable for the intended purpose.

Kia ceed engine oil

Before pouring new oil into the engine, read the technical specifications, marking features, manufacturing brands and other product features.

The first characteristic is the viscosity class. This indicator directly affects the fluidity of the oil under different temperature conditions. The viscosity class also greatly affects fuel consumption in winter, which greatly affects the start-up of the power unit and warm-up time.

If you plan to operate the car in winter, pay attention to products where the viscosity level is lowered. As a result, the car becomes economical, and the lapping surfaces are used longer. If the environment is hot, select an engine oil with a higher viscosity grade.

Modern oils for passenger car engines, including Kia Ceed, are designated by the SAE classification. It is indicated on the label of canisters, as it acts as the main marking. Includes two numbers, each of which is separated by a "-" sign and the letter "W".

The first number indicates the minimum temperature at which the oil is able to circulate through the channels and guarantee full scrolling of engine parts during the start process. The second number gives the buyer an idea of ​​what the viscosity becomes as the engine warms up to operating temperature.

According to the manufacturer's requirements, it is recommended to fill in Kia Ceed cars with oil whose viscosity is 5W-40 or 5W-30. Thanks to these parameters, the power unit operates smoothly in an elevated temperature range. The minimum is minus 30°C, the maximum is 50°C. This marking is recommended to be poured into European cars, regardless of engine size, type, absence or presence of a supercharger in the design.

Kia Sid engine oil approvals

The manufacturer specifies the following engine oil tolerances:
Gas engine:

• API SL or SM
• ACEA A5

Diesel engine:

• ACEA C2 or C3 - for engines with a DPF filter
• ACEA B4 - for engines without a DPF filter

In the case of first-generation Kia Sid cars, use oil whose parameters are 5W-30 or 5W-40 (for operation in European countries). In addition to European countries, you can also use engine oil, the range of which is from -6 to +50 degrees. An alternative option is products with parameters 15W-40. Compared to other varieties, in this case, the minimum operating temperature is increased to -15 degrees.

Kia ceed how much oil is in the engine

For gasoline power units with a volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters, it is necessary to fill in 3600 ml of engine oil, a complete replacement will be about 4 liters. Before starting the replacement procedure, it is recommended to pour it into a separate container with a measuring scale, if it is not convenient to use the measurements on the canister.

In the case of a 1.6 liter gasoline engine with a turbine, the volume of engine oil is 4.5 liters.

For diesel engines, the volume is 5.3 liters, and a complete replacement is about 5.7 liters.

When carrying out a scheduled replacement, from 3.6 to 5.3 liters of lubricant is used, depending on the type of engine, volume and presence of a turbine. The year of manufacture also affects the amount of oil. If, for example, the vehicle belongs to the model range of 2010 and 2011, then there are no design differences in the engine, so the oil volume remains the same. In the case of 2008, more oil is poured, because at that time the manufacturer produced more capacious power units. The exact parameters, depending on the volume, are indicated above.

Oil in automatic transmission kia seed

As part of the service, pay attention to the gearbox. It is necessary to fill in oil in the Kia Sid automatic transmission in accordance with the technical regulations. An oil change is made every 60,000 km. If the car was bought used and you don’t know when the last maintenance was carried out, for personal certainty, you should immediately go to a service center. They will check the remaining oil level. Practice shows that upon receipt of such a machine, craftsmen fill in new material.

The check includes an analysis of the technical condition of the lapping parts. In the presence of a four-stage box, which was installed until 2012, Hyundai SP-III fluid is poured. If this is not available, use alternative options with parameters: SP-III.

Filling with oils of other varieties is highly discouraged. Otherwise, this will lead to unstable operation of the “machine”.
In the case of a six-speed automatic transmission installed on cars of 2012, 2013, and so on, Hyundai SP-IV oil is used, or another alternative marked SP-IV.
