Pros designed your Kia to be healthy, safe, and operate at its best for many years. However, that doesn't mean you don't have much work to do. Regular maintenance, like oil changes, is essential to your model's performance—and here's why.

Oil works with your engine in many ways. First, it provides sufficient lubrication to ensure the moving parts don't grind together when you're driving. It also helps cool everything down to prevent overheating and keeps the engine clean by picking up debris as it works.

Since oil works so hard, it will begin to diminish over time, become dirty, and display a thicker consistency. This is when it's time for an oil change!

Think of oil changes as the spa day your engine deserves. They're essential for keeping your car healthy and running smoothly. Your engine relies on motor oil to keep everything running smoothly.

Motor oil lubricates all the moving parts in your engine, reducing friction and keeping things cool under the hood. As your car operates, the oil moves through the engine, lubricating parts, reducing friction, and helping to keep temperatures under control.

Over time, though, oil collects dirt and debris, breaking down and becoming less effective. Without regular oil changes, this can lead to increased wear on your engine, reduced performance, and potentially expensive repairs.

When you bring our Kia to our state-of-the-art service center, our certified technicians will get right to work—but what exactly do they do? Let's break it down:

• Our technicians will inspect your vehicle and check the engine oil level.
• Next, the old oil is drained from your Kia to make room for fresh, clean oil.
• They will then remove the oil filter and install a new one.
• Finally, the correct type of oil is added to your car before everything is tightened up and checked.

Our technicians have performed hundreds of oil changes, so you can expect to get in and out quickly! You can also add other maintenance services at the same time, like tire rotations, tune-ups, and more.

It is recommended that you schedule a Kia oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. However, mileage isn't the only way to determine when your ride requires fresh oil. Your Kia can let you know when it's time to schedule an appointment with the following warnings:

• Dark, thick, or dirty oil on the dipstick
• Excess smoke emitting from the exhaust pipe
• Knocking, roaring, or grinding sounds coming from the engine
• Check that the engine or oil dashboard light is illuminated
• A burnt smell inside your Kia cabin

If you notice any of these signs, it's time to bring your Kia to DeLand Kia for a professional oil change.
