I have noticed a decrease in the performance of my Kia Sportage engine. What steps can I take to maintain its performance and prolong its lifespan?

Regularly changing the engine oil and filter is crucial for maintaining engine performance. Make sure to follow the recommended intervals in your owner's manual.

In addition to oil changes, regularly check and replace other vital fluids such as coolant, transmission fluid, and brake fluid. Neglecting these can lead to engine damage.

Properly inflate your tires to the recommended pressure. Underinflated tires can lead to decreased engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Pay attention to any warning lights on your dashboard. Ignoring them can lead to more serious engine problems down the road.

Consider using high quality fuel and additives to keep your engine running smoothly. Cheap or low quality fuel can have a negative impact on performance.
