How do I know when it's time to change my Kia Sportage's oil?

I just bought a Kia Sportage and I'm not sure when I should schedule an oil change. Can you give me some advice on what to look for to determine when it's time?

Hi Jenna, congratulations on your new Kia Sportage! In general, it's recommended to change your oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. However, it's also important to pay attention to your vehicle's oil change indicator, which can vary depending on driving habits and conditions. If you notice the indicator light on, it's a good indication that it's time for an oil change.

Hi Jenna, I have a Kia Sportage myself and I always schedule my oil changes every 5,000 miles. However, make sure to check your owner's manual for the recommended interval for your specific model. Additionally, if you notice any of the warning signs such as increased engine noise or dark, dirty oil, it's definitely time for an oil change.

Hey Jenna, regular oil changes are crucial for maintaining the longevity of your Kia Sportage's engine. If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or tow heavy loads, it's best to schedule oil changes more frequently. It's always better to be safe than sorry!
