I recently bought a Kia Stonic and I want to make sure I am keeping up with regular maintenance. Can you provide some advice on how I can easily check my oil levels?
ReplyHi Samantha, checking your oil levels is an important part of car maintenance. To do this, park your Kia Stonic on a level surface and wait for the engine to cool down. Then, locate the oil dipstick near the engine. Pull it out, wipe it clean, and reinsert it. Pull it out again and check the oil level against the low and high marks on the dipstick. If the oil level is below the low mark, you can add more oil.
Hey Samantha, another important tip when checking your oil levels is to make sure your engine is off and the car has been sitting for at least 10 minutes. This will give the oil time to settle and give you a more accurate reading. Also, be sure to check your owner's manual for the recommended type of oil for your Kia Stonic.
Hi Samantha, a good practice is to check your oil levels every 1000 miles or at least once a month. This will ensure your Kia Stonic's engine is running smoothly and help prevent any potential issues. If you notice your oil levels are consistently low, it may be a sign of a larger issue and you should take your car to a mechanic for further inspection.
