How often should the fluids be changed in a Kia Stonic?

I am curious about the maintenance schedule for my Kia Stonic. How often should I change the fluids, such as the engine oil and coolant? Is it different for automatic and manual transmissions?

The recommended interval for changing the engine oil and filter is every 7,500 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes first. As for the coolant, it should be replaced every 30,000 miles or 24 months, and this applies to both automatic and manual transmissions.

Make sure to check the fluid levels regularly and top them off as needed. If you notice any abnormal changes, such as low oil or discolored coolant, it's best to schedule a maintenance appointment as soon as possible.

In addition to the recommended intervals, it's also important to pay attention to your driving habits and environment. If you frequently drive in harsh conditions, such as extreme temperatures or heavy traffic, you may need to change your fluids more frequently.

If you're unsure or want further clarification, it's always best to consult your owner's manual or reach out to a certified Kia technician for personalized advice.
