• 1: When replacing or adding coolant, we recommend that you visit an authorized Kia dealer.
• 2: For your convenience, it can be replaced prior to its interval when you are doing other maintenance tasks.
• 3: We recommend that the coolant level and leak is checked on a daily basis.

Replace brake fluid every 20k miles??? No way. LOL

The way i read it is you top it off every 20k as it uses quite a bit due to regen breaking

How does that work? When you are using regen the hydraulic brakes don’t get used.

Yeah, I noticed that and it is weird. No way do you replace the brake fluid every 20K miles (and 10K miles/15000 km in Europe)! Inspect maybe.

Ignoring that, the only actual service other than inspections is changing the cabin air filter every 10,000 miles until 230,000, when you replace the coolant. Severe service also calls for replacing the reduction gear fluid at 80,000.

You also need to service wear items like tires and wipers.
