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

I recently purchased a Kia Rio and I'm wondering how often I should be changing the oil. I've heard conflicting advice from friends and family, and I want to make sure I'm taking good care of my car.

It is recommended to change your Kia Rio's oil every 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. This will help keep your engine running smoothly and extend its lifespan.

I personally change my Kia Rio's oil every 3,000 miles to be on the safe side. However, some newer cars can go longer without an oil change. It's ultimately up to your preference and driving habits.

Make sure to also check your owner's manual for specific recommendations for your Kia Rio. Every car is different and following the manufacturer's guidelines will ensure your car runs at its best.
