What the manual does not print
The 2024 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.
12 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 2024 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 9 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: 1.6 MPI: SAE 5W-20, API Latest (ILSAC Latest) (SAE 5W-30 ACEA A5/B5 for Middle East, Iran, N. Africa, India); 1.6 T-GDi: SAE 5W-40 ACEA A5/B5 (5W-30 for Europe, China, Central/South America, Brazil, Mexico); 2.0 MPI: SAE 5W-20 API SM & ILSAC GF-4 (or above) or ACEA A5/B5 (5W-30 ACEA A5/B5 for Middle East, Iran, N. Africa, India). Use the grade printed for your engine if the manual lists more than one.
