How often should the oil be changed in a Kia Sorento?

I just purchased a Kia Sorento and I'm wondering how often I should change the oil. I don't want to damage the engine, but I also don't want to waste money on unnecessary oil changes.

The recommended interval for oil changes in a Kia Sorento is every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.

If you frequently drive in severe conditions, such as extreme temperatures or stop-and-go traffic, it's recommended to change the oil every 3,000 miles or 6 months.

I would stick to the recommended interval and use high quality oil. It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your engine's health.
