How to Check the Gear Oil in a 2002 KIA Rio
- 1). Open the Kia Rio's hood.
- 2). Locate the transmission level dipstick; it is an orange, ball-shaped, plastic handle located on top of the transmission. Pull the dipstick from the transmission.
- 3). Wipe the dipstick clean, using the shop rag, and reinsert the dipstick into the transmission.
- 4). Pull the dipstick out and check the level on the end of the stick. Notice the dipstick has two notches near the bottom, one labeled "Min" and one labeled "Max." The proper level is anywhere between those two marks.
- 5). Wipe the dipstick clean and reinsert it in the transmission. Close the Kia's hood.
