What the manual does not print
The 2022 Kia Forte owner's manual does not list wipers, battery and filters sizes; for the battery, read the label on the battery fitted to the car, then check the size against the BCI group chart; for wipers, measure each blade end to end and buy the nearest whole-inch size.
11 positions are listed as LED in this manual. LED lamps have no separate replacement bulb; the lamp assembly is replaced.
Buying the parts for a 2022 Forte
- Headlight bulbs: the HB3 low beam are halogen capsules on trims that have them; buy them in pairs so both sides match in colour and output.
- Small bulbs: this manual names 11 replaceable bulb positions. Wedge bulbs such as W5W and 194 differ from twist-socket bulbs such as 7443 or 3157, so match the full number, including suffixes like NA (amber).
- Oil: 2.0 MPI: Full synthetic SAE 5W-20, API Latest (ILSAC Latest); 1.6 T-GDi: Full synthetic SAE 5W-30, API Latest (ILSAC Latest) or ACEA A5/B5. Use the grade printed for your engine if the manual lists more than one.
Check it on your car
Trim, engine and lighting package change some of these parts, so match the row that names your engine or trim. Before you buy, compare the number printed on the old part with the table above. See how this site reads manuals.
