How do I properly maintain the engine of my Kia Sportage?

I just bought a Kia Sportage and I want to make sure the engine stays in good condition for as long as possible. What are some recommended maintenance practices for the engine?

Regular oil changes are crucial for maintaining the engine of your Kia Sportage. You should follow the recommended interval in your owner's manual and use high-quality oil.

In addition to oil changes, it's important to regularly check and replace the air filter and spark plugs. This will help ensure your engine is running efficiently.

Don't ignore any warning lights on your dashboard, especially the check engine light. If it comes on, it's important to have your vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic.
