Kia Oil Change Service When to Change Your Oil
The general rule of thumb for older models used to be to change your oil every 3,000 miles or so, but newer models with synthetic oil can go longer — 5,000 miles to 7,500 miles or more. If you don’t drive that many miles, it’s still a good idea to change the oil twice a year to maintain optimal oil quality, as oil will degrade over time, even if you don’t use the engine. Additionally, if you drive shorter distances, operate in a lot of stop-and-start traffic, or tow heavy loads, you may need to change your oil more frequently.
If you drive a Kia, we recommend you follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. Find the schedule for your vehicle using our maintenance schedule tool.
Kia Oil Change Diagnostic Light
There are two oil change-related lights that you may see in the dashboard of your Kia. Some models may be equipped with a service mode that calculates when you’ll need service. Once you get closer to needing an oil change, a “service required” message will show up every time you start your vehicle. Once you reach this point, it’s best to schedule a service visit.
The second, and more serious, oil change-related indicator that you may see is the oil pressure warning dashboard light, which remains on after you start your vehicle. This indicates there isn’t sufficient oil pressure or enough oil to operate your engine. Don’t drive your vehicle while this light is on to avoid overheating or damaging it. Check and add engine oil and, if the light still persists, have your vehicle inspected.
Conventional vs. Synthetic
There is no one standard engine oil that’s right for every vehicle. Generally, choose between synthetic oil, conventional oil, or a synthetic oil blend depending on what’s best for your car.
Conventional Oil
Refined from crude oil, conventional engine oil is generally less expensive than synthetic oil, but it isn’t optimized for extreme conditions or newer vehicles, and will need to be changed sooner than synthetic. If you drive an older vehicle, it may work best with conventional oil.
Synthetic Oil
Engineered by scientists for optimal performance even in extreme conditions, the term “synthetic oil” can describe a blend of conventional oil with synthetic chemicals or additives (synthetic blend) or fully synthetic oil. Using synthetic oil can reduce engine sludge buildup, help you go longer between oil changes, and may be required if you drive a newer vehicle.
