What is the proper way to change the oil on a Kia Rio?

I recently purchased a used Kia Rio and I'm not sure when the previous owner changed the oil. How often should I be changing the oil in my Kia Rio and what type of oil should I use?

The recommended oil change interval for a Kia Rio is every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. As for the type of oil, it is best to stick with the manufacturer's recommendation, which is typically a synthetic blend or full synthetic oil.

I personally prefer to change my oil every 5,000 miles to ensure maximum engine protection. As for the type of oil, I would recommend using a high-quality full synthetic oil to prolong the life of your engine.

It's always a good idea to follow the recommended maintenance schedule for your specific vehicle. As for the type of oil, consult your owner's manual or ask a trusted mechanic for their recommendation.
