How often should I change the engine oil in my Kia Picanto?

I am a new owner of a Kia Picanto and I am not sure how often I should change the engine oil. Can you please advise me on the recommended frequency?

As a general rule, we recommend changing the engine oil in your Kia Picanto every 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. This will ensure optimal performance and longevity of your engine.

It is always best to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for oil change. In the case of your Kia Picanto, it is recommended to change the engine oil every 7,500 miles or every 12 months. However, if you frequently drive in severe conditions such as stop-and-go traffic or extreme temperatures, it is best to change the oil more frequently.

Regular oil changes are essential for maintaining the health of your engine. We suggest changing the oil every 3,000 miles or every 3 months for optimal performance. This may be slightly more often than the manufacturer's recommendations, but it will ensure your engine is always running smoothly.

It is important to check your engine oil level regularly and not wait until the recommended mileage for an oil change. If your oil level is low, it is best to top it up as soon as possible or change the oil entirely to avoid any potential damage to your engine.
