I recently purchased a Kia Stonic and I want to make sure I'm properly maintaining it. Can you provide step-by-step instructions on how to change the oil? What type of oil should I use? How often should I change the oil?
ReplyHi Natalie, changing the oil in your Kia Stonic is relatively easy and can save you money in the long run. First, you'll need to gather a few supplies including a wrench, oil filter wrench, oil drain pan, and new oil and oil filter. Check your car's manual for the exact type of oil and filter recommended. Once you have everything you need, simply locate the oil drain plug on the bottom of the engine, remove it and let the oil drain completely. Then, remove the old oil filter and replace it with the new one. Finally, add the recommended amount of new oil and you're all set. It's generally recommended to change your oil every 5,000 miles but refer to your manual for the specific recommendation for your Kia Stonic.
Hi Natalie, changing your oil regularly is key to keeping your Kia Stonic running smoothly. In addition to following the steps mentioned by John, it's important to properly dispose of the old oil and filter. Many auto shops and retailers offer oil recycling services. Also, make sure to check the oil level and condition regularly to prevent any potential issues. It's always better to be proactive when it comes to car maintenance.
