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

I recently bought a Kia Sportage and I'm wondering how often I should change the oil. I've heard different opinions, some say every 3,000 miles while others say every 5,000 miles. What is the recommended interval for changing the oil in a Kia Sportage?

The recommended interval for changing the oil in a Kia Sportage is every 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. This will ensure that your engine stays well lubricated and running smoothly.

You should also consider your driving habits and environment when deciding on an oil change interval. If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or in extreme temperatures, you may need to change the oil more often.

Make sure to use high-quality synthetic oil for your Kia Sportage to ensure maximum engine protection and performance.
