Part stores like Advance or Auto Zone carry a universal coolant that will meet or exceed your Kia's coolant specifications and can be mixed. There are 2 different ways you can buy it, either in concentrate or premixed. Premixed is easiest, but it costs more. The concentrate you'll have to mix with water. The color may be different, but that's okay it won't affect performance.

SOURCE: Kia Rio overheating although everything seems ok

Possible early signs of a water pump problem. A failing waterpump will circulate coolent when the RPMS are high but when you slow down, so does the waterpump, thereby causing overheating.

Yes, remove those coil packs and you'll see the plugs. A car with coil packs for each plug does not have the traditional plug wires you may be more familiar with.

How do I find a free step by step diagram for reconnecting the engine of a 2008 kia rio

Sorry, you don't. But if your just down to electrical. lay the harness out across the engine. Injector and coil plugs are the same, but usually won't stretch to the next part. The rest of the will not plug into another sensor/actuator.

You can use any coolant that is labeled Long or Extended life coolant, these are so called universal coolants that mix with all types of coolant. Prestone, Peak and others are really good coolants that fit the bill for your Kia's coolant needs. buy the concentrated and mix it 50/50 with tap or drinking water in the gallon jug. The remixed coolant is a rip off price wise.
