How often should I change my Kia Rio's engine oil?

I recently purchased a Kia Rio and I'm not sure how often I should be changing the engine oil. Can you provide some guidance on maintenance schedules?

It is recommended to change your Kia Rio's engine oil every 5,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. This will help keep your engine running smoothly and prevent any damage from lack of lubrication.

As an owner of a Kia Rio myself, I can advise that sticking to the recommended maintenance schedule is crucial for the longevity of your vehicle. If you frequently drive in harsh conditions, such as extreme temperatures or dusty environments, it might be a good idea to change the oil more frequently.

I've been a mechanic for over 20 years and in my experience, it's always best to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for oil changes. This will ensure that your Kia Rio is performing at its best and will also help maintain its resale value.
