For all the prescribed points of the automaker's regulations, this is the guarantee of a long and trouble-free operation of your Kia Rio.
These items include a list of work and operations with the replacement of fluids. And each MOT, depending on the mileage of the car and the period of its operation, carries different points.
Kia has taken a mileage of 15,000 kilometers as a basis for the frequency of maintenance of the Rio model.
Interesting! The first service, respectively, is carried out precisely with such a mileage, and then along a mathematical progression. Let's take a look at what the maintenance grid looks like on the Kia Rio and what regulatory features the manufacturer prescribes for Kia dealers.
First MOT. Maintenance Kia Rio with a mileage of 15,000 km (year of manufacture from 2012 to 2015)
The first maintenance involves a small amount of work on replacing fuels and lubricants and components, as well as lubrication components:
Also, the manufacturer has identified several mandatory checks of systems and components for the quality of their work:

It is worth noting that the schedule of each car maintenance provides, in addition to the car's mileage, and the frequency of time.
Important! No matter how much your Rio has driven, the terms of the warranty always provide for service at least once a year.
If it is important for you that the car remains under warranty and you rarely drive it out of the parking lot, you need to periodically remember how much time has passed since the last official inspection by the dealer's specialists.
It includes the following operations:
ENGINE AND ITS SYSTEMS
- Change oil and oil filter (work different for 8-valve and 16-valve engines)
- Replacing the timing belt (work different for 8-valve and 16-valve engines)
- Replacing the accessory drive belt (operation differs for 8-valve and 16-valve engines)
- Replacing the replaceable air filter element (operation differs for 8-valve and 16-valve engines)
- Replacing spark plugs (operation differs for 8-valve and 16-valve engines)
- Replacing the fuel filter
- Checking the tightness of the cooling systems, power supply and exhaust gases, as well as the condition of hoses, pipelines and their connections
TRANSMISSION
- Clutch drive adjustment
- Checking the transmission oil level
- Checking the condition of the protective covers of the front wheel drive hinges
CHASSIS
- Checking tire condition and tire pressure
- Checking the condition of the bushings and pillows of the stabilizer bar, silent blocks of the suspension arms
- Checking the condition of the ball joints
- Checking the condition of the front and rear shock absorbers
STEERING
- Checking the fluid level in the power steering reservoir
- Checking the condition of the steering gear covers and the ends of the steering rods
BRAKE SYSTEM
- Checking the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir, the tightness of the hydraulic drive, the condition of the hoses and pipes
- Checking the condition of the pads and anthers of the working cylinders of the rear wheels
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
- Checking the battery charge
- Checking lamps for outdoor and indoor lighting
To replace all the necessary "consumables" you will need to purchase:
- Oil filter
- Drain plug gasket
- Air filter
- Spark plug x 4
- Accessory drive belt
- Timing Belt Kit with Roller
- Fuel filter for models with a fuel filter located outside the fuel tank (with a mileage of 120 thousand km).
The relatively high cost of both maintenance and spare parts, as well as a wide range of prices, are due to the need to replace timing belts and auxiliary units and depend on the engine with which your car is equipped. So, for Renault Logan / Sandero cars with 16-valve engines the price will be higher than for cars with 8-valve engines with a working volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters.
1. Do not operate the engine and automatic transmission "cold". Until the temperature of the oil on the dashboard approaches 90 degrees, you cannot sharply raise the revs and accelerate!
2. Oil change depending on driving style:
a). With restrained operation 50/50 highway / city, the oil can be changed every 10 t.km
b). With restrained operation only in the city, oil change every 7-8 t.km
v). For lovers of frequent acceleration - oil change every 5-6 t.km* Take the trouble not to fill in oil with Castrol labels, it is better to choose another oil with the same tolerance, for example Motul X-Cess. Use only the original oil filter, or an analogue from the K&N company! It is necessary to check the oil level through the menu from the car's interior after each trip on the highway, and it does not hurt to check the level at least once a week. If you were driving fast, then immediately after that you should not check the oil, as the computer may give erroneous data. Also, do not check the oil level "cold". If after checking you see that the oil level is not at the maximum mark, add the required amount so that the level is always at the maximum! After changing the oil, make sure that the drain plug and oil filler cap are screwed on properly and check the oil level after a while. It doesn't matter if you change the oil between official MOTs at any competent service. The main thing is to take the original filter and oil with the appropriate tolerance!
3. The air filter must be changed every time the oil is changed. From time to time it is necessary to wash the inlet box, for this it is better to remove it.
* If you wish, you can replace the factory disposable air filter with an analog from the K&N company. Such filters of low resistance are reusable, but they must be serviced (washed and impregnated with a special liquid) every 3-5 t.km! It is not recommended to install a cold intake system on the above motors!
4. Spark plugs and gasoline: it is necessary to replace the spark plugs every 20-25 t / km, since the quality of gasoline in our country leaves much to be desired. Buy only original candles, now there are more cases of marriage and fakes, be careful, check what you buy!
Use gasoline only AI-98. Choose proven gas stations, try not to fill up with bad fuel. If you were able to refuel only the AI-95, try to drive with restraint until the AI-98 appears in the tank again! If you are in an area where the quality of the gasoline is not known, you can use an octane-increasing additive, such as from Liqui Moly. Also on the free market, all ODs have an original fuel additive from BMW, which has the properties of cleaning injectors. Such an additive can be used for prophylaxis once every 15 t.km, it costs 500 rubles!5. Watch your car, be attentive to it and it will reciprocate! If anything suspicious about the behavior of the car arises, try to take the time to diagnose. Most problems can be avoided early on in their development! The reasons can be only two things: either failure to comply with the above recommendations, or a factory defect.
In addition to these explanations, there are "seasonal" procedures, such as flushing the radiators, replacing the coolant, brake and other fluids. After winter, it is also useful to check the brake system and suspension.
Special attention should be paid to the gearbox and gearbox. To avoid problems, it is recommended to change the oil in the automatic transmission every 45-60 t.km and the gearbox every 20-30 t.km. If you drive more than 60t.km without changing the oil in the automatic transmission, then chips are generated during this time. It is necessary to change it together with the oil pan (a filter is also built into it). Precisely because of the formation of shavings in the automatic transmission, the BMW plant does not recommend changing the oil in it at all, and if it does change, then it is advised to do it together with the oil pan! Therefore, it is better not to go into the automatic transmission unnecessarily, but into the gearbox - be sure:

Well, 33 messages on the forum are clearly an expert.
I suggest not to drive it for the safety of the car.About the motel, a good PR company.
I have nothing against castrol, the original and the motel. I pour the original myself, and only when the BC wants. The first MOT was at 15,000, the second MOT still wants to be at 29,000.If the engine is working properly, then it doesn't matter which oil (from the bmw specification), by the way "pro" wrote nothing about flushing the radiator, but this is really something that is worth doing at least once every two years (that is why he is a "pro").
Candles on a normal engine run 80 tons. Km. then you get them out with the thought, change them for prevention, and they are like new.
Cabin filter greedy OD say to change every time, not greedy said if it blows through THAT, but if you bought it already, let's put it on, because replacement work is not expensive at all.I don’t think the motel will save you when your engine overheats ...
What always likes castrol - shit, rubbish. There are no other oils, I walked and mobile probably only for priors
hopefully entirely?
If you are used to planning everything in advance and on paper, to control some areas of your life, then the right decision would be to create your own checklist with information what, when - at what mileage or lifetime the car should be checked and / or replaced. After all, there are a great many such consumables, parts and assemblies in a complex car stuffed with electronics today. So, only at 10,000 kilometers of run, many manufacturers recommend replacing a decent list of consumables: oil and air filters, oil directly, cabin filter.
So let's get started! We will need to record when we last checked or changed this or that element in the car, and when we have the next replacement. We will only consider the necessary and non-obvious parts for checking or replacing - we will not consider wiper blades in the list, for example, because their replacement becomes obvious when they stop cleaning the windshield well enough and make the trip unbearable.
Fuel filter
This is an element that is probably as important as the fuel itself for the car. When the engine of your car is running, it is on constant duty, not letting a single particle of dirt or debris into the cylinder block when the fuel pump is active, thus preventing contamination, clogging of the injectors. It is not surprising that over time it needs to be changed (however, like almost any part in a car that is called a "filter"). In addition, it is advisable to change at the same time the mesh of the fuel pump, which catches the largest particles of debris, at each replacement of the fuel filter.
Where is: the location of the fuel filter differs from model to car model, but more often it is located under the engine, and in this case it is more convenient to see and replace it either by removing one of the car's wheels (often), or by lifting it on a lift; rarely, the fuel filter can be found inside the fuel tank itself or under the bottom of the car at the rear (also next to the fuel tank). Since the fuel system is often pressurized in most locations and the fuel lines are very tight, it is best to have a dedicated technician handle the filter change.
When or how often to check / change: Replacement every 1.5-2 years or 30-50,000 kilometers - check the operating instructions for your model.
: filter - 400-1200 rubles; replacement - 200-600 rubles.
Power steering fluid level
Perhaps one of the simplest procedures is to check the level of fluids in cars for a sufficient amount, so it is advisable to carry it out as often as possible. Periodic checks of the fluid level in the power steering system are done by a simple glance at a special window with minimum and maximum marks in the reservoir or on the owgt inside it. If there is a need to add fluid, make sure you only add the manufacturer's recommended type and even grade of fluid, and talk to a mechanic if the fluid level constantly drops significantly or you feel resistance spikes when you turn the steering wheel.
Where is: under the bonnet, in an obvious place on top, most often on the steering rack's path to the wheels (i.e. on the driver's side and closer to the passenger compartment).
: check preferably once every 2 weeks - a month. It is not required to specially change the power steering fluid.
Engine oil and oil filter
This is perhaps the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to scheduled maintenance of the car. Indeed, the oil in the engine, doing the most work, protecting the fastest wearing parts of the engine, while also experiencing overload, needs to be replaced frequently.
Where is: The oil filler neck is located directly on top of the engine in the form of a red or yellow (but can be any other) color cap. To check the oil level under the hood, there is a special dipstick (usually yellow) with minimum and maximum marks. The oil filter is located under the engine.
When and how often to check / change: you need to change the engine oil every 10-15,000 kilometers - you need to clarify this information in the instructions. In addition, it is possible that these figures will be lower if you prefer aggressive driving with constant "cranking" of the engine to high revs and loads on the engine. It is advisable to check the oil level every 2 weeks to a month.
How much does a replacement cost on average?: replacement oil costs about 1,200 - 2,500 rubles; the cost of work on changing the oil is 600-2,000 rubles. You can also change the oil yourself. The oil filter will cost about 200-600 rubles.
Battery
Where is: in a conspicuous place under the hood - two thick wires extend from it.
When and how often to check / change: once every 3-5 years, depending on the conditions and intensity of operation, or 40-80,000 km of run.
How much does a replacement cost on average?: a new battery costs about 3-10,000 rubles, depending on the brand and characteristics.
Air filter
Another filter that deserves attention is the air filter. Just like a fuel filter, it must constantly clean the air entering the engine, but, unlike the first, the air filter is much harder, because the air contains much more dust and other particles than in the fuel already purified at the production stage.
Where is: in a conspicuous place next to the engine or on top of it in a large plastic (less often in a metal) box.
When and how often to check / change: every 30-50,000 kilometers - it is important to clarify this figure in the operating instructions for your car.
How much does a replacement cost on average?: 300-1000 rubles, you can replace it yourself, the cost of replacement work: 100-300 rubles.
Automatic transmission fluid
In cars with automatic transmissions, a special fluid is used for its operation (it also functions as an oil). Ignoring the timely oil change in the automatic transmission leads to a large extent to quite expensive repairs. Fortunately, prevention is as easy as filters. Check the fluid level periodically, top up if necessary, and change from time to time with the filter.
Where is: the fluid level is checked with a special dipstick with marks for the minimum and maximum fluid - just read the recommendations for the test conditions in the instructions for your car in advance.
When and how often to check / change: check preferably every 2 weeks - a month. Change every 3-4 years or 50-80,000 kilometers - it is important to clarify this figure in the operating instructions for your car.
How much does a replacement cost on average?: 1,500-3,000 rubles liquid, cost of replacement work: 500-1,000 rubles.
Spark plug
You cannot have an internal combustion engine without a combustion process, and spark plugs are an indispensable attribute of gasoline engines. Clean fuel and light loads on the plugs mean longer plug life, but they still need to be replaced after a certain mileage.
Where are: directly on top of the engine on the cylinder block. Unscrewed with a special candle wrench. The number of spark plugs is equal to the number of engine cylinders.
When and how often to check / change: replace the spark plugs as needed - when the engine becomes poorly operated due to misfiring. Regular scheduled replacement should be carried out every 20-50,000 km (depending on the model of your car and the manufacturer's recommendations).
How much does a replacement cost on average?: 200-800 rubles each candle, the cost of replacement work: 300-600 rubles for each candle.
Timing belts and drive belts
And these are, perhaps, the very parts of your car that are most important to be on the regular maintenance calendar of your car. Drive belts transmit rotation from the engine to the generator, air conditioner and a number of other components in your car, and inside the engine there is a timing belt (or often a timing chain) that drives the valves through the camshaft. And when exactly the timing belt fails, this is the worst news, because we will have a very expensive repair.
Where are: You can see the drive belts under the hood - most likely, all the belts you see there will be drive belts. The timing belt is hidden from view behind the engine cover, and must be checked and replaced by a specialist.
When and how often to check / change: Have a trained auto mechanic check and replace the timing belt. The frequency of replacing the timing belt depends strictly on the model of the car, and the value of such a mileage itself is strict (on average from 50,000 to 120,000 km) and, in addition, replacement is required in case of excessive wear - be sure to see this value in the instruction manual. Drive belts change as they wear out (cracks and other signs of wear).
How much does a replacement cost on average?: the price of both a timing belt or a timing chain and drive belts varies greatly, so it is not possible to name even its average values.
Coolant (antifreeze)
This liquid in the radiator is considered to be truly multifunctional. It serves as an antifreeze, cooling your car's engine and protecting the cooling system from corrosion. In addition, it can be used in many emergency situations.
Where is: the filler neck of the radiator is located directly on top of it (the radiator itself is immediately behind the radiator grill under the hood) - it is in it that you most often need to look to determine the level of antifreeze - it should at least be visible; however, refer to the instructions for your car to clarify this issue.
When and how often to check / change: it is advisable to check it every 2 weeks - a month (more often in summer, less often in winter). Replace every 4-5 years or 80-120,000 kilometers of vehicle mileage.
How much does a replacement cost on average?: 300-800 rubles directly antifreeze and 500-1000 rubles - replacement work.
Tires
Tire wear time is highly dependent on aggressiveness and overall driving style, travel geography and road surface, tire pressure and wear of suspension parts. Despite this, in any case, sooner or later you will have to change tires. Change them in a timely manner, because it is the tires that are the first word in the safety of your driving!
When and how often to check / change: it is advisable to check it every season - most tires have wear indicators on the tread - bulging numbers with different depths - each next number has a different depth so that you can determine how worn out the tire is, judging by the remaining visible numbers. In general, with a quiet ride in city conditions, tires on driving wheels last from 3 to 10 years (it also depends on the tire itself - its composition and tread depth).
How much does a replacement cost on average?: from 3,000 to 8,000 rubles for each new tire for a B-D-class passenger car; from 5,000 to 20,000 rubles for one new tire for E- and premium class cars; from 6,000 to 50,000 for sports cars, crossovers and SUVs. The cost of replacing tires in tire shops ranges from 1,300 to 2,500 rubles, depending on the class and weight of the car.
Brake pads and brake fluid
We know that there are two types of car brakes: disc and drum brakes. But regardless of which type or another, it is very important to change the pads of both types of brakes.
Where are: the expansion tank of the brake fluid is located under the hood in a visible place, most often there is a window on this tank with marks for the minimum and maximum fluid. The pads are directly behind each wheel of the car - to access them, you must at least remove the wheel, and then: in the case of disc brakes, remove the brake caliper, and in the case of drum brakes, remove the drum. If you have never changed the pads yourself, then it is better to entrust this business to professionals, although this is a rather simple procedure.
When and how often to check / change: it is better to check the brake fluid with each opening of the bonnet, and the brake pads - every month or two. Disc brake pads in the overwhelming majority of cases will signal their wear (moreover, the front wheel pads will wear out first, because they are subject to a greater load during braking due to the fact that the mass of the car is shifted forward) with a rather nasty grinding or whistling - on a special sensor is installed in the pads - a metal plate, which, in case of wear, will rub against another metal part of the brakes on the caliper. In addition, the duration of wear depends, as is the case with tires, on the manner and driving conditions, but on average, it is time to replace the front brake pads every 20-50,000 kilometers.
How much does a replacement cost on average?: 600-2000 rubles for a set of pads for a pair of wheels (for each wheel there are 2 pads - in total there are 4 in the set). Replacement work: from 300 to 700 rubles per wheel.
Cabin filter
One of the most important filters for the health of the driver and passengers in the car is, and the frequency of its replacement strongly depends on the operating conditions of the car in dust and dirt, at a certain air humidity. At the same time, the filter is just that consumable that should be changed as often as possible.
Where is: depending on the particular car, it may be inside the glove compartment (behind the glove compartment itself - to access the filter, the glove compartment must often be removed), under the hood as close to the passenger compartment as possible.
When and how often to check / change: it is advisable to check it every 2-3 months, and change it at the same frequency, or just blow or vacuum the contaminated cabin filter.
How much does a replacement cost on average?: 300-700 rubles for a filter and 100-500 rubles for work on its replacement. Most often, on most cars, it is customary to change the cabin filter yourself.
