How often does the Kia Rio need an oil change?

I recently purchased a Kia Rio and was wondering how often it needs an oil change. Do you have any recommendations for the best type of oil to use and how often to change it?

Congratulations on your new Kia Rio! Generally, it is recommended to change your oil every 5,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. As for the type of oil, it is best to consult your owner's manual for the recommended viscosity for your specific model.

Hi Sofia, the frequency of oil changes can also depend on your driving habits. If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or in harsh weather conditions, it may be best to change your oil more frequently. Additionally, synthetic oil is becoming more popular and can potentially last longer between oil changes.

Hi there, it's important to regularly change your oil to ensure your engine runs smoothly and efficiently. As for the type of oil, it's best to use high-quality oil that meets the manufacturer's specifications. And don't forget to also replace your oil filter with every oil change!
