Oil Changes for a Kia Optima
Different vehicles will need to get their oil changed according to different schedules. Kia owners should usually get their oil changed every 3,000 miles. Drivers usually shouldn’t wait if they’ve been driving for 5,000 miles or so. They should use the same schedule if they specifically have a new Kia Optima from this year, although this schedule should apply to most older Kia models as well. The situation might be slightly different with different oil types. Either way, the professionals working at the Suntrup Kia South dealership should be able to offer Kia owners and drivers the advice that they need to make effective decisions about oil changes.
Changing Synthetic Oil
Lots of Kia owners are now deciding to use synthetic oil instead of more standard forms of oil, which can be helpful for the people trying to get more life out of their automotive oil. Kia owners will not need new synthetic oil until they have driven their vehicles for around 6,000 miles. If you don’t use your vehicle all that often, you might not hit the 6,000-mile mark and will instead need to bring it in after 6 months instead. Synthetic oil provides more overall protection when lubricating your Kia’s engine. Ask our Kia technicians the next time you come in for an oil change to use synthetic oil during your oil change service.
Maintaining Your Kia Optima
Getting oil changes relatively frequently can certainly help almost your Kia Optima last for a longer period. This certainly applies to modern vehicles, even if they’re high-quality machines. The warranty for the Kia Optima should last for around 60,000 miles, assuming it’s a five-year warranty. Some drivers might have warranties that will last for a full 100,000 miles. Drivers who operate motor vehicles very frequently should usually focus on the number of years and not the number of miles in practice. These people will tend to put a lot of miles on their cars in only a short period. They might need much more frequent oil changes than that.
