As a Kia owner in Frisco, it's crucial to stay on top of regular maintenance to keep your vehicle running smoothly and reliably for years to come. One of the most important maintenance tasks is getting regular oil changes. When it's time to get your Kia's oil changed, the service center at Kia of Frisco is ready to help.
The oil in your Kia K4, Kia Telluride, or Kia Sportage lubricates all the moving parts, preventing friction and wear, and keeps the engine cool. Without enough clean oil, the engine components would grind against each other, causing serious damage. This is why regular oil changes for your Kia Seltos are so important to maintain your vehicle's longevity and performance.
So how do you know when it's time for an oil change on your Kia in Frisco? One telltale sign is the check engine light on your dashboard. You may also notice some physical signs that you're due for an oil change, such as:
Even if you don't notice any obvious signs, it's generally recommended to get your oil changed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or about twice a year. However, this interval can vary depending on your specific Kia model, year, and driving habits. The best way to know when your Kia is due for an oil change is to consult your owner's manual or maintenance schedule. Our team can discuss personalized oil change intervals for your Kia Soul, Kia K5, Kia Carnival, and all other models.
When it comes to oil changes, using the correct type of oil for your Kia is just as important as changing it regularly. The service experts at your Frisco Kia dealership will know the ideal oil for your engine based on manufacturer specifications.
In between oil changes, it's a good idea to periodically check your oil level at home to catch any potential issues early. With the engine off and the car parked on level ground, open the hood and locate the oil dipstick. Pull it out, wipe it clean with a cloth, reinsert it, and pull it out again. Check that the oil level falls between the minimum and maximum marks and that the oil looks clean on the dipstick.
If you find that you're low on oil, you can top it off yourself but be sure to use the grade of oil specified in your Kia's owner's manual. If you notice that your oil level is dropping frequently or the oil looks very dark and dirty, schedule an appointment at Kia of Frisco right away, as this could indicate an underlying engine problem that needs professional attention.
Now that you know the importance of regular oil changes and how to spot when you're due for one, it's time to get your Kia's next oil change on the calendar.
