I recently purchased a used Kia Rio and I'm not sure how often I should change the oil or how to do it properly. Can someone walk me through the steps?
ReplyYou should generally change your oil every 5,000-7,500 miles, depending on your driving habits and the type of oil you use. As for the process, first locate the oil filter and drain plug under the car. You'll need to use an oil filter wrench and a socket wrench to remove them. Before you start, make sure you have a catch pan ready to collect the old oil.
It is recommended to use synthetic oil for your Kia Rio. It may be more expensive, but it will provide better protection for your engine. Also, don't forget to check your owner's manual for specific instructions and recommended oil brands.
