I just bought my first Kia Picanto and I want to make sure I take good care of it. How often should I get the engine oil changed and what type of oil should I use?
ReplyCongratulations on your new Kia Picanto, Samantha! It's recommended to get your engine oil changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles depending on your driving habits. As for the type of oil, it's best to stick with the manufacturer's recommendation for your specific model and year of car.
Hi Samantha, as a fellow Kia Picanto owner, I can tell you that it's important to change your engine oil every 3,000 miles if you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or have a lot of short trips. If you have a more normal driving routine, you can go up to 5,000 miles. Make sure to use high-quality, synthetic oil recommended by Kia.
Hi Samantha, I have a suggestion for you. Keep track of your mileage and the date of your last oil change. This will help you determine the best schedule for changing your oil based on your driving habits. And same as the others have said, use the type of oil recommended by Kia for optimal performance.
