I just purchased a Kia Sorento and I want to save money on regular maintenance. How often do I need to change the oil and what is the best way to do it?
ReplyIn general, it is recommended to change the oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. However, you should always refer to your owner's manual for the specific recommended interval for your Kia Sorento model.
To change the oil on your Kia Sorento, you will need an oil filter, new oil, a oil filter wrench, and a drain pan. First, locate the oil filter and drain plug under your vehicle. Use the wrench to loosen and remove the drain plug, allowing the old oil to drain into the pan. Then, remove the old oil filter and replace it with the new one. Finally, add the correct amount of new oil and replace the drain plug. Don't forget to dispose of the old oil properly!
As a Kia Sorento owner myself, I recommend performing regular oil changes to keep your engine running smoothly and extend its lifespan. It may also be a good idea to keep track of your mileage and manually check your oil levels every month to ensure it's not too low. Taking good care of your car now will save you from costly repairs in the future.
