How often should I change the oil on my Kia Niro?

I just bought a Kia Niro and I'm wondering how often I should change the oil to keep the car running smoothly? Can I go longer than the recommended interval? Thanks!

It is recommended to change the oil every 7,500 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes first. However, if you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or extreme weather conditions, it is best to change the oil more frequently at around 5,000 miles.

I change the oil on my Kia Niro every 5,000 miles for peace of mind. It's a small cost compared to potential engine damage from dirty oil. Make sure to also check your oil levels regularly and add more if needed.

I've had my Kia Niro for 3 years now and I've been changing the oil every 10,000 miles with no issues. However, I do take good care of my car and make sure to follow all maintenance schedules.
