2019 Kia Sportage

Published repairs below cite a manual or a manufacturer chart. Coming soon pages are names only. Capacities and torque on this year stay on this year.

This year uses the U.S. QL owner's manual. The 2.0 T-GDI and the 2.4 GDI are separate maintenance charts.

Oil, coolant, transmission fluid, brakes, both filters, spark plugs, and the drive belt are filed from that book. A battery, wipers, lug nuts, and bulbs were not given numbers in the sections read for this batch.

2019 is the U.S. QL owner's manual. The turbo chart and the non-turbo chart are not the same interval. Other Sportage years are not filed here.
