How often should the Kia Picanto's engine oil be changed?

I just bought a Kia Picanto and I'm wondering how often I should change the engine oil. I've heard mixed opinions, some say every 5,000 kms and others every 10,000 kms. What do you recommend?

Hello Sophia, congratulations on your new Kia Picanto! It is recommended to change the engine oil every 10,000 kms or 12 months, whichever comes first. However, if you often drive in severe conditions such as extreme heat or cold, dusty roads, or frequent short trips, it is best to change it every 5,000 kms or 6 months.

Hi Sophia, I'm a proud Kia Picanto owner and I change my engine oil every 7,500 kms. It's a good balance between the recommended interval and my personal preference. My car runs smoothly and I haven't had any issues so far. So it's up to you, just make sure you follow the recommended oil type and grade for optimal performance.

Hi Sophia, having my Kia Picanto for over 5 years now, my advice is to change the engine oil every 10,000 kms. However, always remember to check the oil level every 2,000 kms or once a month, whichever comes first. This way, you'll know when it's time to top up or change the oil.
