What fuel should I run my 2019 Kia Seltos AWD on?
Answered by David Morley · 09 Oct 2026

There’s always the temptation to just google this stuff. Problem with that these days is that you don’t know whether the information you dig up is from a trusted source or not. Also, you could be unwittingly looking at the specifications for the same car as yours but built for a different market where fuel quality and engine specifications are different to here. A much safer bet is the check the owner’s manual that came with the car (assuming it’s still in the glovebox).

In any case, I contacted Kia Australia who told me that your car would be fine on 91-octane fuel. Which is to say you can certainly pay more for 95 or 98-octane ULP, but your car won’t drive any differently, use less fuel or be any more reliable. So, 91 it is.
