How do I know if my Kia Picanto's engine oil needs to be changed?

I have a Kia Picanto and I'm not sure when the engine oil needs to be changed. Can someone please advise me on what signs I should look out for?

The best way to know when to change your Kia Picanto's engine oil is to check your owner's manual. It will typically recommend changing the oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles (or every 6 months).

You can also look at the color and consistency of your engine oil. If it's dark and thick, it's time for a change.

Another sign that your engine oil needs to be changed is if you notice a decrease in performance or fuel efficiency.
