How often should I change the oil in my Kia Sorento?

I have a 2018 Kia Sorento and I'm wondering how often I should change the oil to keep it running smoothly. The manual says every 7500 miles, but some people say every 5000 miles. What's the best option?

It's always best to follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your owner's manual. While some people may suggest changing the oil more frequently, doing so could actually be harmful to your engine by causing unnecessary wear and tear on the engine components.

If you want to err on the side of caution, you can certainly change the oil every 5000 miles instead of waiting for the 7500-mile mark. Just make sure to use high-quality oil and follow the other maintenance recommendations in your manual.

I've been a mechanic for 20 years and I recommend sticking to the manufacturer's recommendations. The 7500 mile interval is designed to keep your engine running at its best without wasting money on unnecessary oil changes.
