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

I recently bought a Kia Stonic and I'm not sure how often the oil should be changed. Can you give me some advice on the recommended interval and what type of oil to use?

As a rule of thumb, it is recommended to change the oil every 5,000-7,500 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. This helps to keep your engine running smoothly and extends its overall lifespan.

Since the Kia Stonic has a smaller engine, synthetic oil is recommended for better performance and protection. However, if you mostly drive in a mild climate and do not do a lot of heavy towing or hauling, conventional oil should suffice.

I personally change the oil on my Kia Stonic every 5,000 miles and use synthetic oil. This has worked well for me and my car has been running smoothly.
