Kia Oil Change Services near Kirkwood, MO
Your engine oil keeps all the moving parts inside the engine lubricated so as not to have friction between the metal parts of your engine. Engine oil eventually breaks down to where it doesn’t lubricate as well as it should and at this point, you need to have Kia oil changes in Kirkwood. It all depends on how many miles you drive as to how long you should wait to have an oil and filter changed. You should consult the manufacturer’s recommendations in your owner’s manual; it will be expressed as to how many miles or how many months you need to wait until getting your oil changed.
What Are There Signs That I Need My Oil Changed?
There are some signs to prompt you to get an oil change. Your engine may be making some odd noises when metal parts are rubbing together. It may smell hot or like something is burning in the cabin of your vehicle. Your oil on the dipstick may look dark and thick. Your “check oil” light may be on or the window sticker shows you are overdue for an oil change by the mileage or date on your Kia. If your oil level is low, you need to get an oil change as fast as you can, as it can burn up your engine entirely. This would indicate an oil leak that would need to be addressed when they change the oil in your vehicle.
Types of Engine Oil
Conventional oil is the most widely used engine oil. It’s ideal for late model cars that are light-duty in nature with low to average mileage. Semi-synthetic oil or synthetic blend motor oil has all the advantages of full synthetic oil but at a lower price point. This type of oil is a mixture of synthetic oil and conventional oil. Full synthetic motor oil works best in performance vehicles with higher viscosity levels and a better resistance to oxidation. It also resists thermal breakdown so you don’t need to change your oil near as often.
