The answer to that question depends on a few things. If your Kia has more than 150,000 miles on it, you should have its oil changed about once every 5,000 miles. Talk to our service staff about high mileage oil options. Generally, vehicles with fewer miles can use conventional oil whereas high mileage cars should use synthetic oil, which doesn’t need to be changed as often. If you have a lower mileage Kia and opt for conventional motor oil, you should schedule an oil change service about once every 3,000 miles.
Regardless of the oil type you select, it’s imperative that you have it changed at the regular intervals your auto technician recommends. If you go long enough without having an oil change, your engine will stop functioning properly and eventually die.
