Importance of Frequent Oil Changes
Receiving periodic oil changes allows your engine to cool itself, reduce friction, and clean up oxidation or sludge that can impact performance. As fresh oil flows through your engine, it traps particulates, cools the surface of components, and returns to the oil filter, where it's cleaned, cooled, and pumped back through the system. When you frequently receive oil change services and treat your Kia Sportage to manufacturer-recommended upkeep, you'll likely experience benefits such as:
- Reduced engine resistance
- Lower engine temperatures
- Improved engine reliability
- Potential fuel economy gains
- Decreased oil consumption
Common Kia Oil Change Intervals
Even though most drivers know that their vehicle needs regular service, many are not familiar with the service intervals specific to their Kia K5 or Carnival or current operating conditions. We encourage local drivers to explore their Owner's Manual or contact our service center advisors for pertinent information, as some models have multiple powertrains options. For most Kia vehicles, oil changes should be performed using the correct oil type and viscosity at least every 12 months or 10,000 miles to maintain optimal engine performance. In addition, those who operate in extreme weather conditions or high-stress applications like towing may require oil changes as often as every 6 months or 5,000 miles to ensure their engine has optimal protection.
Sign Your Vehicle Needs Help
Even though your vehicle may have a recommended oil change interval, changes in operating conditions and driver habits can cause your car to exhibit signs of wear ahead of your planned service. Whether you've missed a service by accident or have outstanding maintenance needs, some of the symptoms that may be present when it's time to receive an oil change or other upkeep include:
- Check Engine Light
- Oil leaks on the ground
- Metallic or syrup-like oil
- Knocking and ticking noises
