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

I recently purchased a Kia Picanto and I'm wondering how often I should change the engine oil. I've heard different recommendations and I'm not sure which one is right. Can you offer some advice?

It's recommended to change the oil on your Kia Picanto every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or every 6 months, whichever comes first. This will ensure the engine runs smoothly and prolong its lifespan.

I would suggest checking your owner's manual for the specific recommendations for your Kia Picanto. It's also important to regularly check the oil level and top off as needed between oil changes.

I change the oil on my Kia Picanto every 3,000 miles, just to be safe. It may seem like overkill, but it gives me peace of mind knowing my engine is well-maintained.
