When buying, you need to know the shade - Colour and Type antifreeze, valid for the year of manufacture of your Sportage 3. Select the manufacturer of your choice. Do not forget - each type of fluid has its own lifespan. 
For example: for Kia Sportage (3rd generation) 2014, with a gasoline or diesel engine type, suitable - lobrid class of antifreeze, type G12 ++ with shades of red. The approximate next replacement period of which will be 7 years. If possible, check the selected fluid against the requirements of the vehicle manufacturer's specifications and service intervals. It is important to know Each type of liquid has its own color. There are rare cases when a type is tinted with a different color.
The color of red antifreeze can be from purple to light pink (green and yellow have the same principles). 
Mix liquid from different manufacturers - can if their types match the blending conditions. G11 can be mixed with G11 analogues
G11 must not be mixed with G12
G11 can be mixed with G12+
G11 can be mixed with G12++
G11 can be mixed G13
G12 can be mixed with G12 analogues
G12 must not be mixed with G11
G12 can be mixed with G12+
G12 must not be mixed with G12++
G12 must not be mixed with G13
G12+, G12++ and G13 can be mixed together
It is not allowed to mix Antifreeze with Antifreeze. No way! Antifreeze and Antifreeze - very different in quality. Antifreeze is the trade name for the traditional type (TL) of an old-style coolant. At the end of the service life - the liquid completely discolors or becomes very dull. Before replacing one type of fluid with another, flush the car radiator with plain water.
I have been interested in EVANS coolant for a long time, learned a lot, watched a video from the Discovery channel and was ready to pour it into old car, only by purchasing a new (fresh) car - I decided to take this step. Everything is new: the hoses are intact, the radiator is clean, the pump is on the move. What remains - I drained the old antifreeze for an old car, and prepared a new one for filling. Fortunately, KAZAK posted a photo on "Installing the mesh behind the grille", I decided to do two things at once. Why I decided to replace the NEW factory antifreeze - I won’t tell you in detail, because each of us has our own personal opinion. For information, you can read here: http://www.evanscoolants.ru/ru/. Bought here: http://mawiko.******/g3310998-evans. The procedure is not complicated, but with a twist. Post photos and comments:
1) Drain the factory antifreeze. Since the muzzle was removed, the process is a little easier. At the bottom left of the radiator there is a screw for draining antifreeze. Having unscrewed it, the antifreeze pours in a small stream onto the engine protection and then into the substituted container. My GT-Line has a factory plastic engine cover, which I did not remove, but wiped off the dirt from the inside. Next, open the filler cap and speed up the process. All that he merged - into an eggplant for an old car, blew the rest with air, thanks to friends from the tire shop - they took an active part in disassembling the New car!
2) Having closed the drain hole in the radiator, fill in the FLUSHING, and in addition the DRYING liquid EVANS PREP FLUID. This is the necessary conditions before topping up the coolant itself. Slowly poured flushing / drying, started the engine and topped up the remainder to the level. On my 2-liter coolant volume ~ 6.9 liters. After driving at idle for 30 minutes, he poured it into the prepared container, blowing and then closing the cooling system after draining. Here is the Zest - but why? The fact is that the usual water-based antifreeze remains in the stove, and we need to remove all the water from the cooling system to the maximum. So I had to blow it out, drain it, and then mix the drained liquid with the remnants of fresh washing. I took 7 liters of flushing and Antifreeze. After the first flush, I had a little more than a liter of EVANS PREP FLUID left - not all of the factory antifreeze came out. The second filling - the remains of fresh water + topping up from the first EVANS PREP FLUID. I started the engine and drove for 40-50 minutes until I pressed the stove. It's +33 on the street, and you wait for the stove to work - it's a thrill! As soon as the heat has gone, you can stop the process and drain the flushing liquid. Drained, mothballed the cooling system, waited until the engine cools down, rested.
3) Filling with EVANS AUTO COOL 180° Coolant. The motor cooled down, opened the filler plug and slowly, according to the level, poured a miracle liquid. I bled the hoses, started the engine and topped up the rest of the level. The story of the stove is repeated. The rest, about 100 grams, topped up in the morning ... That's the whole process. Now the antifreeze is filled in Once for the entire life of the engine. But THAT I will control so that they don’t add water !!! Yes, when buying in the salon, the manager warned that I would change the antifreeze, to which the Service asked for information about the liquid being poured. I provided all the data from the site, the guarantee was not removed, they said that the car passes through the temperature range of operation - this is the main thing. Who is interested - read the characteristics.

This information will be useful to those who prefer to fill their car with fluids recommended by the manufacturer. Yes, and for myself I wanted to systematize what was found and studied on the Internet. The planned TO-3 is approaching, in the regulations of which the replacement of antifreeze is listed.
What antifreeze on Kia Sportage
I always come to official dealers for maintenance with my consumables, because I want to know exactly what is filled in my car. For me, this is relevant in recent years - dealers have cooperated and started to fill in what comes to hand. Or what is currently in stock.
You can partly understand them, because. making money and increasing profits has unfortunately come to take precedence over quality. Well, the now fashionable trend of coproeconomics has not been canceled.
So, in accordance with the manual, the manufacturer recommends filling in “ethylene glycol-based coolant for an aluminum radiator” and “coolant volume 6.8 liters”. That's actually all. There is no other information.
After reading technical documentation manufacturers, it became clear that antifreezes that meet the specifications of Hyundai-Kia MS 591–08, Korean KSM 2142 and Japan JIS K 2234 are most suitable for us.
Hyundai/Kia Long Life Coolant 2yr
This antifreeze is the only global original antifreeze and is only sold as a concentrate. All concentrates indicated in this entry are diluted with distilled water in a ratio of 1:1.
Technical documentation for this antifreeze cannot be found online, but it is known that it is produced in Korea and is manufactured by KUKDONG JEYEN COMPANY LTD. Antifreeze consists of phosphate ethylene glycol and contains a minimum amount of amines, borates, silicates and nitrites.
In fact, this is the usual Crown A-202 antifreeze, the simplest in the KUKDONG range.
Conforms to specifications - KSM 2142 and JIS K 2234. Service life - 2 years or 40,000 km.
Crown LLC A-110
This antifreeze is the only local original antifreeze and is sold mainly only in the form of a finished liquid.
Antifreeze is produced by Technoform in Klimovsk, especially for Hyundai / Kia. Antifreeze is based on ethylene glycol. According to the composition of the additive package, it belongs to the Lobrid type. Made from raw materials and technology from KUKDONG JEYEN COMPANY LTD (Korea) and is an exact copy (according to manufacturers) of Crown A-110 antifreeze.
Class - phosphate-carboxylate (P-OAT). Conforms to specifications - MS 591-08 and JIS K 2234. Service life - 10 years or 20,000 km. As far as I understand, it is this antifreeze that is poured into maintenance official dealers. Only from barrels, diluting concentrate and expensive.
CoolStream A-110
This antifreeze is non-original antifreeze and is produced by the same Technoform company from Klimovsk (description above). In fact, it is an exact copy of the Crown LLC A-110, but is not sold under the Hyundai / Kia brand. Marketing in a nutshell. Sold only as a finished liquid (concentrate in barrels of 200 liters).
As the manufacturer writes: “Antifreeze is poured on the Hyundai Motor Manufacturing RUS car assembly line in Hyundai cars and KIA - Hyundai Solaris, Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai IX 35, Hyundai Getz, KIA Sportage, KIA Rio, KIA Ceed and etc."
look interesting video on this topic:
The specifications that antifreeze must support for Kia Sportage 3 are Korean KSM 2142, Hyundai-Kia MS 591–08, Japan JIS K 2234.
It is poured into Korean-assembled cars from the factory Hyundai antifreeze Long Life Coolant, manufactured by local company KUKDONG JEYEN COMPANY LTD.
This concentrate is diluted depending on the temperatures of the region according to the following table.
Article number 07100 00400 for a 4 liter container, 07100 00200 for a two liter container.
In the car Russian assembly The factory is filled with Crown LLC A-110 coolant. This is essentially antifreeze diluted to a temperature of -36 ° C produced by the above-mentioned Korean company. Search article R9000AC001K.
CoolStream A-110 coolant is still the same concentrate, but already diluted to a freezing point of -40°C. You can find the five-liter 782068 (CS010502), liter 782051 (CS010501) by number.
Also, the necessary specifications are supported by German-made antifreeze, the Ravenol brand. This concentrate is available in containers of 1.5 liters (4014835755819) and 5 liters (4014835755857). Diluted for -40°C has articles 4014835755918 and 4014835755956, respectively.
