I recently purchased a Kia Niro and the owner's manual doesn't specify the type of oil to use. Can I use a traditional oil or do I need a synthetic blend? What about oil weight and viscosity? I don't want to damage my engine, any advice would be greatly appreciated!
ReplyHi Maria, congratulations on your new Kia Niro! As for the type of oil, it's best to use a synthetic blend. This will provide better protection for your engine and improve fuel efficiency. In terms of weight and viscosity, refer to your owner's manual for the recommended range. It's important to stick within this range to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your engine.
Hello Maria, great question! Synthetic blends are the way to go for your Kia Niro. They offer superior performance and engine protection compared to traditional oils. As for oil weight and viscosity, it's best to follow the recommendations in your owner's manual. This will vary depending on your driving habits and climate. Don't forget to regularly check your oil levels and change your oil according to the recommended intervals.
Hi there Maria, using a synthetic blend for your Kia Niro is definitely the way to go. It may be a bit more expensive, but it will give you better engine protection and improved fuel efficiency. When it comes to oil weight and viscosity, it's best to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for your particular model year. And remember to check your oil levels regularly and change it according to the recommended intervals.
