Now the tendency among automakers to produce motor oils under their own brands is actively continuing its development. Although in fact the company itself takes little part in the development of the lubricant formulation, such motor fluids are optimally suited to the characteristics of the engines. The united Hyundai-Kia company was no exception. These Korean developers used to use it for their cars, but then set about creating their own oil brand. It was named Mobis. Modern oils Kia Hyundai meet the most stringent quality requirements, are considered the best solution for Korean cars, and can also be poured into engines of others, Korea, Europe, etc.

KIA-Hyundai engine oil is not produced at production facilities companies.

Features of production

Kia-Hyundai does not have its own factories that would be engaged in the development and production of engine oils. Now they use the principle of concluding partnership agreements. The automaker signs a contract with the manufacturer of motor lubricants, and he develops special composition for the characteristics of cars. The result is an optimal motor lubricant in all respects. The only objective drawback is usually the high price when compared with analogues. Some believe that the oil for Kia-Hyundai is produced exclusively at the facilities of the SK concern, which produces the well-known ZIC oil. This is true, but only partially. It is not important for consumers where exactly the oils are produced. All productions work according to a single scheme, using identical components and recipes. The quality does not change from the place of origin. This is what the automaker himself says. Based on consumer feedback, the words are true.

In total, 4 enterprises are working on branded original oils of the Kia-Hyundai auto concern:

1. S-Oil. They also produce motor lubricants under the Dragon brand. Quite a popular option for modern cars and used foreign cars.
2. It belongs to the company. The choice in favor of a partnership with this company on the part of Kia-Hyundai is understandable, since ZIC motor fluids are currently considered one of the best at their adequate cost.
3. GS Caltex. Pretty large manufacturer motor lubricants, which owns the authorship of such a brand,. These formulations are produced at the facilities of the represented company.
4. You are probably familiar with an oil like Eneos. High quality, relatively affordable and universal grease for different cars.

Such cooperation with several companies simultaneously allows us to supply oils to different markets where Kia and Hyundai cars are presented. Using motor lubricants Kia Hyundai, produced under the general brand Mobis, you can use the following vehicles:

• Sonata;
• Accent;
• Tucson;
• Santa Fe;
• Elantra;
• ix35;
• Cee'd;
• Cerato;
• Rio, etc.

The whole the lineup The two combined Korean carmakers from the factory use their own Mobis oils as their own lubricant. Although some experts believe that these fluids should only be poured into cars from 2010, in practice, the formulations have proven their worth and suitability on models of earlier years. Therefore, car owners can pour grease into both brand new Korean cars and used old Kia and Hyundai models. The only question is the frequency of changing the engine oil.

Types and characteristics

When trying to find a suitable composition for engines installed on Korean cars, you need to carefully study the type, characteristics and even the current state of the power unit. It depends on which types of Hyundai-Kia oil are best for you. Original lubricants differ not only in the volume of containers into which the oils are poured, but also in tolerances, technical parameters and purpose. Plus, each composition has its own catalog number, which makes it easier to find the composition you already know.

Consider the most popular and common original motor oils of Hyundai-Kia joint production. This list of the lubricant line will make it possible to understand which composition and for which vehicles you need to use.

Kia-Hyundai has a clear separation between gasoline and diesel engines and engine oils intended for them. Therefore, if your Korean car has a diesel power unit, choose only diesel oils for it. They do the same with cars powered by gasoline engines. All formulations are thoroughly tested for compliance with the declared characteristics. Judging by consumer reviews, the original oils from the partners of the Kia-Hyundai carmaker show themselves perfectly on Korean-made cars. They fully meet the requirements of the automaker and optimize the operation of all types of internal combustion engines.

It is important to notethat Hyundai-Kia branded oils are not as expensive as some well-known counterparts. Wherein original oil often outstrips alternative solutions in real technical characteristics and physicochemical properties. This proves once again that the best solution for any machine will always be an original motor lubricant. But only if we are talking about the leading auto companies, which include the Hyundai-Kia concern.

How to tell fake oils

Output of original hyundai-Kia oils (Mobis) provoked the appearance of counterfeit products, that is, fakes. The fight against counterfeits is relevant for almost all manufacturers of motor and transmission lubricants. Some manage to effectively fight against fakes, while others do not. In the case of the Kia-Hyundai carmaker, things are not very bad. There are forgeries, but their number is still insignificant. There are no prerequisites for increasing the number of fakes. But here you never know what to expect.

If you decide to order an original oil for your Korean Hyundai or Kia car, be sure to check the fact that there are several characteristic features of the original oil.

You can also carry out laboratory tests, which almost 100% guarantee an accurate result. But such an event is very time consuming and costly. Try to buy or order oils only from trusted suppliers. Do not buy motor lubricants at too suspicious promotions and understated prices. This is the most common method of quickly selling a counterfeit batch of motor lubricant, where the calculation is made on the desire of buyers to save money.

If you see that the cost of the liquid is about 300 - 500 rubles different from the market average, this is probably a fake. The original composition cannot be too cheap, since the production costs of the Kia-Hyundai are impressive. But since even in Russia there are not so many fakes of oils produced under the joint brand Kia-Hyundai (Mobis), the likelihood of encountering a fake is insignificant. Be careful and alert. With the help of the considered signs of counterfeit products, you will minimize all risks and will be able to purchase real Korean motor oil for your car.

The selection of a lubricant must begin with the instruction manual for a specific car model. The specified documentation describes the viscosity, type, class required oil... The purchase of the recommended engine oil for Kia cee’d will reduce fuel consumption, improve the performance of the power unit, and also increase the operating period of the engine and lubrication system.

Recommended engine oil for Kia cee’d is described in the car manual. In this documentation, the manufacturer not only indicates the parameters of the engine oil suitable for a particular car engine, but also focuses on the need to take into account the seasonality of the fluids. Depending on the season, there are lubricants developed for the summer, for the winter, or all-season. Each type of grease has specific characteristics and a unique chemical base to ensure proper operation kia motor LED depending on the operating conditions of the machine.

The selection of a lubricant is made taking into account the base fluid base and the temperature range in which the vehicle will be operated. For stressed working conditions and too hot climates better fit synthetics or semi-synthetics. In worn-out engines with high mileage, it is preferable to use mineral oil.

Buying motor fluid for Kia seed, please note if there are tolerances on the liquid canister. The presence of tolerances indicates the compliance of the engine oil with a specific car brand.

Conclusion

Engine oil parameters affect vehicle fuel consumption and operation vehicle in cold weather (starting the engine, pumping the lubricant). Using the recommended engine oil for the Kia cee'd will improve engine performance and ego longer life. The use of even an original car oil that does not meet the manufacturer's recommendations Kia ceed will lead to deterioration of the lubrication of the motor and its premature failure.

About what role in the operation of the car Kia rio plays motor oil, literally every owner of this model knows. All units and parts, thanks to lubricants, are protected from corrosion, friction, wear, cooling. The engine oil, together with the filter, becomes contaminated during the operation of the car with fuel combustion products, as well as small elements of metal chips formed as a result of erasing the components of the Kia Rio engine.

Replacement should be carried out periodically after the lubrication period has elapsed. These periods are different for each car, but the generally accepted rule says that it is necessary to fill in new oil every 15,000 km. Replacement is carried out much more often if the operation of the engine always takes place in an enhanced mode, but for the Kia Rio, this indicator is optimal. Naturally, the operating mode of the engine will always depend on the conditions on the road, therefore, for greater reliability, experts recommend pouring new engine oil every 10,000 or 7,500 km.

Which product is best for you?

For the most part, owners of Kia Rio pour Shell Helix into the engine, the viscosity of which is 5W30 or 5W40. The letter W means winter and, accordingly, a factor of 5 determines that this product is suitable for use in winter at a temperature outside the car of -5 C °

The situation with used cars is a little different. It is necessary to take into account the mileage of the vehicle when changing the engine oil, since with each kilometer traveled, the minimum sufficient indicator of the degree of viscosity will always increase. In this case, products of any brand... Before filling, it is necessary to clean the channels through which the lubricant flows, special meansdesigned to do just that.

For use on the Kia Rio, of course, the brands of the most famous brands, world leaders in the production of lubricants, are recommended. Similar advice is given regarding filters, since only the original product has always been considered the most suitable for the Kia Rio. Even a gasket for drain plugs must be of high quality if the owner wants his equipment to last as long as possible.

When does lubricant consumption increase?

If the Kia Rio is operated in difficult conditions, the consumption will increase by 1 liter for every 1000 kilometers traveled. What operating mode can be described as severe?

TO difficult conditions relate:

• Kia Rio operation on uneven road surfaces;
• Movement in severe frost conditions;
• Regularly walking short distances;
• Driving on road surfaces sprinkled with salt or any other substances that corrode metal elements;
• Long-term idling of the Kia Rio motor.

In essence, all modern operating conditions of machines are equated to harsh ones.
Hence, complete replacement oil should be carried out twice as often, and you should always be prepared to top up the Kia Rio with 1 liter of fluid every 1000 km.

Manufacturer's choice

Replacing fluid in kia car Rio is always held after selection suitable liquid... The quality of the lubricants must meet the requirements specified by the vehicle manufacturer. You can buy fluid only from trusted sellers who officially cooperate with sales representatives of engine oil manufacturers in a particular region. The world's leading suppliers develop the highest quality products. These include:

• Mobil 1;
• Shell;
• Castrol;
• Liqui Moly;
• Total;
• Valvoline.

Naturally, not a single Kia Rio owner wants to overpay for lubricants, while many are trying to save money, but in the end they only manage to harm themselves. Performance characteristics motors decrease several times faster when using low-quality cheap motor oils. Such savings will ultimately lead to additional costs for engine repairs.

How to choose the right engine lubricant?

TOYOTA SN SAE 5W-20;
CASTROL GTX SynBlend SAE 5W-20;
Formula Shell SAE 5W-20;
FORD Motorcraft Full Synthetic SAE 5W-20;

Varieties of lubricants

All lubricants for automobiles are manufactured using the same technology. Any liquid is created from a base and various kinds of additives that increase the quality characteristics of a substance. The quality of lubricants is always determined by the analysis of the constituent components. To improve or change the characteristics, special additives are used. With long-term operation of the engine, all useful substances cease to act. Any liquid is based on synthetic and mineral components. The combination of synthetic / mineral water in a ratio of 25/75 results in a semi-synthetic substance.

Replacing one type of fluid with another requires pre-flushing the engine, since the chemical activity of the synthetic base is much higher than the mineral one. More aggressive components will corrode less active ones, and with them some engine mechanisms. A synthetic-based liquid differs from mineral water in a modified construction of the atomic structure of the substance molecules. This effect is achieved using special equipment... A synthetic-based fluid can last much longer and has an increased temperature resistance.

Conclusion

Every car owner understands the importance of normal work engine mechanisms have high quality lubricants. To determine which lubricant is suitable for a particular car model, it is recommended to carefully study the instructions drawn up by the manufacturer.

Basic rules of car maintenance: draining and filling with lubricant

And a little about the secrets of the Author

My life is not only connected with cars, but also with repair and maintenance. But I also have a hobby like all men. My hobby is fishing.

I started a personal blog where I share my experience. I try a lot of things, various methods and ways to increase the catch. If interested, you can read it. Nothing more, just my personal experience.

Attention, only TODAY!

Good day everyone! We continue the topic of choice oils for Kia Rio... The topic is quite extensive and there is still a lot of work ahead. Therefore, get ready, as there will be at least a couple or three articles on this particular car model ahead. Today we will talk about engine oil for Kia Rio. We have already talked about, but today we will repeat this topic again. Also, do not forget to read articles about her.

Engine oil for Kia Rio (Kia Rio) - selection by SAE viscosity

Before buying oil for Kia Rio, you need to have at least a glimpse of the instructions for the car. After all, how are we? We go to the store, see expensive oil, buy it and think that everything, the engine is reliably protected. But this is not always the case. Usually, the manufacturer himself recommends which oil to use in the engine. If you again refer to the instructions, then you can understand that the manufacturer recommends oil for Kia Rio with a viscosity of 5W20 or 5W30. At the same time, 5W20 is a more preferable option. And 5W30 is recommended to be used if 5W20 oil is not available for sale. But in hot countries it is better not to use a viscosity of 5W20, but to use, for example, oil with a viscosity of 5W30. The manufacturer also warns about this. Here is a page from the manual for kia car Rio:

Why is that? Everything is simple. The engines of modern cars are made with minimal clearances between the rubbing pairs. If earlier it was possible to pour oil with a viscosity of 5W40 into almost any engine and drive calmly, then modern cars this will no longer be forgiven. Oil with such a viscosity hardly penetrates the gaps, leaving them on the verge of "oil starvation". As a result, there is an increased wear of engine parts. And hence the increased oil consumption and early engine failure. This is why it is recommended to use oil with the recommended viscosity. In our case, the oil for Kia Rio must correspond to a viscosity of 5W20 or 5W30. This requirement applies to both Kia Rio gasoline engines and diesel engines. This viscosity must be applied year-round regardless of weather conditions. We sorted out the viscosity. Now let's talk about the quality of the oil.

Oil selection for Kia Rio according to API and ILSAC quality class

In one of the articles we said that there are three generation Kia Rio. Each generation comes with a certain oil. The more modern the generation, the higher the quality of the oil the manufacturer recommends to use in the engine. For the first generation Kia Rio gasoline engines, it is recommended to use API SL and ILSAC GF-3 grade oil. These are quite old requirements. Almost all oils in auto dealerships meet these standards. It is not necessary to look for these particular standards. Higher quality oils are quite suitable here, for example, API SM / SN and ILSAC GF-4 / GF-5.

The second generation requires the use of API SM and ILSAC GF-4 oils in the engine. As in the first case, it can be better (API SN and ILSAC GF-5), worse - not possible.

The latest generation of KIA Rio requires even more quality oil, namely the latest generation oils API SN and ILSAC GF-5.

Concerning oils for Kia Rio with a diesel engine, the manufacturer recommends using oil with a class aPI quality CH-4 and above, for example

Engine oil for Kia Rio (KIA Rio) - which is better synthetic or semi-synthetic?

Which oil is best for Kia Rio - this is probably a rhetorical question, since one cannot say that one oil is better and the other is worse. There are oils suitable for a particular engine, but there are not suitable ones. Among them there are high-quality ones, and there are not very good ones. Certainly synthetic oils better than semisynthetic ones, as they are of much higher quality. Plus, synthetic oils do not lose their properties much longer. But quality comes at a price. 100% synthetics are 2 times more expensive than conventional semisynthetics. In addition, there are also hydrocracking oils. These are oils obtained by the hydrosynthesis of oil. Due to the reduction in processing costs, the final oil is cheaper and is practically not inferior in its properties. But hydrocracking oils lose their qualities faster than synthetics.

Therefore, when choosing oils for Kia Rio it is important to choose not the most expensive, but the most suitable one according to the manufacturer's recommendations. And also do not forget to make a replacement in a timely manner.

Oil for Kia Rio 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015

The latest third generation KIA Rio began its existence in 2011. The line of motors includes both gasoline and diesel. Oil for Kia Rio 2014 with gasoline engine must comply with quality class SN / GF-5. In this case, the motor is perfect liqui oil Moly Special Tec AA 5W20. This is a decent hydrocracked synthetic with an average price tag. There is also a similar oil in the Special Tec AA line, but with a viscosity already 5W30. Photos of oils below.

If you decide to buy Liqui Moly, then first read the article: "". I think this will help you not to run into a fake.

The second option is the original Hyundai / KIA Turbo Syn 5W30 oil. it korean oil for Kia Rio, which is produced by the Mobis company. Quite a good option. But you will have to pay a little extra for the brand.

If you are the owner kia car Rio 2011-2015 years of release, then you are in luck - these models are installed very reliable and modern engines... However, it should be noted that without proper care, any motor will soon begin to fail and it will be necessary to forget about its capabilities.

One of the most important aspects in servicing power units on the Kia Rio (including 2013 and 2014) is the regular oil change, and you can do this even more often than the manufacturer recommends. In our article we will consider what is the best oil to pour into your car, what options are there, and compare their pros and cons.

It is absolutely clear that the oil must be changed regularly and in a timely manner. This is especially true for cars from 2011, 2012 and 2013, since they have been in operation for some time and the engine is receiving a serious load. The main indicator of oil is its viscosity, which helps determine the degree of fluidity. Using the right oil, you can completely protect your engine from premature wear. For engines that are installed on the Kia Rio, you need to use a product with a viscosity of 5W-30 or 5W-40. It is also advisable to always monitor oil filter and change it at the same time as the oil, whatever the condition.

Engine oil selection

Before you run to the store and purchase the goods of a particular company, you need to find out what characteristics the oil should have for use in the 2011-2015 Kia Rio. Considering these features, we have selected several suitable options, which we will consider:

• Shell Helix Ultra.
• Total Quartz.
• Divinol.
• ZIC XQ LS.

The first option is one of the best oils in terms of price - quality ratio. The analysis showed that this product has the necessary set of necessary substances and additives, and therefore its use for the Kia Rio engine is quite justified. Moreover, shell oil Helix Ultra does not lose its qualities for a long time and retains its protective properties, which is also an undoubted advantage for this option.

Total Quartz also has impressive performance and is capable of keeping all engine components in top condition. The price of this product is small, but at the same time it fulfills itself 100%. As in the case of the previous version, the oil retains its characteristics even with a fairly high mileage.

Divinol oil boasts low consumption. It should be noted that this brand is little known, but this does not in any way affect its quality. Therefore, this option is perfect for your Kia Rio and will fulfill all its functions.

Another good product with affordable price is the ZIC XQ LS. It has an impressive list of additives, and this directly affects the protection of the engine from wear. It can also be safely poured into the engine of your car.

Which of the oils is better is difficult to say, because they are all good. Of course, you can pick up another oil, more expensive, but the options presented by us are the most optimal for the 2011-2015 Kia Rio. The first replacement should be done after 3000 km of run, since this is enough to run the engine. Subsequent replacements should be at least once every 10,000 km. In this case, you need to fill in about 3 liters of fluid, then check its level, and it should not be higher than the F mark.

Replacement process

You can change the oil either at the station maintenance, or do it yourself. The first option is much simpler, but it involves cash costs. If you do not want to pay, then you can do everything yourself. To do this, you need to drive the car into the "pit" and unscrew the plug, which is located on the engine pallet. Be very careful here, as the oil is hot and can harm you. When it is completely drained, you must remove the filter.

After all these procedures have been completed, it is recommended to remove the remaining dirty oil from the sump. To do this, you can use a syringe on which a curved tube will be worn. It should be noted that this is an optional procedure, but it certainly will not be superfluous. Next, you need to pour fresh product into the Kia Rio engine and the car will not let you down.

Among other things, you will need to prepare the following tools and materials in advance:

• 1. Rubber gloves.
• 2. Newspapers and rags.
• 3. Bucket (to drain old oil into it).
• 4. Socket wrench (for removing the plug from the pallet).
• 5. Open-end wrench (for removing the filter).

So, we tried to give some tips on which oil to choose for Kia Rio. As you can see, it is not difficult to do this and replace it. The main thing is to clearly know what characteristics are necessary for your engine and purchase only high-quality and suitable oil. Whichever you choose from our list, you can be sure of its reliability.
