Hi, I just have a query regarding servicing, I received the vehicle listed above the owner wants to do servicing of her car which she recently bought since she doesn't know the history of the car. I will replace the engine oil and filter, spark plugs, A/C filter, engine air filter, do I need to replace the transmission oil as well?
Anything else which I should do or replaced?
I will check the condition of the brakes and the under part of the car as well.

Unfortunately we don't have the manual on this vehicle as it is not offered here in the USA. However, in most all Kia's the transmission fluid does not need to be changed until 100,000 miles. However, if the vehicle was used in a lot of stop and go driving like a taxi it would be 60,000 miles. That is called severe duty schedule. Since she is going to all this trouble and expense, I would tell her to stay on the safe side and just replace all fluids that way she knows when they were changed.
