I just purchased a Kia Sportage and I want to make sure I properly maintain the engine to ensure it lasts for a long time. What are the recommended maintenance tasks and intervals for the engine?
ReplyRegular oil changes every 5,000 miles is crucial for keeping the engine running smoothly. You should also check the oil levels and top up if necessary in between oil changes.
Replace the spark plugs every 30,000 miles. Old or worn out spark plugs can decrease engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Use only high-quality fuel and make sure to keep the gas tank at least halfway full. This will prevent sediment buildup and protect the engine from potential damage.
Keep an eye on the engine air filter and replace it every 15,000 miles or when it looks clogged or dirty.
